Rec | ANTI-REC: FOMO

👥

i don‘t even really think FOMO is the right word. i sound like a big whiny baby but all my friends are becoming unrecognizable and not the people that i first met, yet i feel like the same person i’ve always been. when i mean that they’re changing, i don’t mean in a good way either. drugs and alcohol which i guess is normal for someone my age, but i just don’t have any interest in that stuff, i think it’s destructive and a waste of time. its just weird to hear them talk about plugs and pens but they’re still my friends i made slime and friendship bracelets with. i realize that i sound judgy and stuck up, but i just don’t like growing up and changing. anyway i just wanted to get that off my chest

It’s very normal to feel sad about that. It’s hard when you feel like they’re making decisions that hurt themselves, too. Finding trusted people to process with is good. I’m glad you felt like you could share here!

Yeah very normal as long as it isn’t stupid drugs. You want them to get this out of their system in high school vs figuring it out in college where things are a lot more real and a lot more dangerous. I’m the token straight edge friend too.. it took me a long time but eventually I got over being around drunk people. If they’re really your friends they won’t force you to do or take anything, nobody is able to convince me to regardless but that isn’t how everyone works. If it comes to a point where they keep insisting on you doing something you don‘t want to, don’t be afraid to assert that boundary !!

@GRAPE i’m lucky my friends haven’t pushed anything on me, but they think i’m judgemental. i get where they’re coming from but i just get worried for them, especially if theyre getting stuff from a plug and not an actual shop. i feel like the odd one out so it’s nice to hear from someone else straight edge too lol

I'm beginning to loose myself

I'm not the same person I was. I feel myself changing. Not only mentally but physically aswell. My eyes colour has changed in the past week and my skin is starting to become flaky. I'm petrified. My feet have shrunk. I don't fit into my favourite loafers anymore. This can't be permanent. Everything needs to go back to how it was.

I USED TO BE SO COOL

I used to be so cool and I don’t know what changed. Being 25 is something, but not that much, right? Is it because I gained weight? Does passion just fade with age? I feel so old and so young at the same time. What will hapen when I'm not pretty anymore? Am I still pretty? I don’t feel pretty. I was honestly really cool, and now it feels like it’s all over.
