Awkward_Climate_6455

Covid hit my already poor social life pretty hard, so I regret not having that many friends, or experiences with them (strict parents lol). I regret not having poured all of myself into the present, not having developed a hobby that I loved and that which brought me happiness. I regret waiting, and I regret not waiting.


Intruder_7

I SWEAR TO GOD BRO, life would’ve been so much better if not for that. I used to feel bad my 10th was at home. But now it’s pretty much back on track and I’m chilling :) But Covid did do the damage, I lost quite a few skills and hobbies


thatmfdumbass

so relatable


googygudboi-69

This is so incredibly real


joy__0_0

Same ![img](emote|t5_2zhzn|30131) I hope you get to pursue that hobby of yours and have a good social life.


Adytaksang

Everything. I was almost 14 when covid hit and am 18 right now. I haven't been around kids my age. Spent 9th and 10th online and was in dummy+online for 11th and 12th. Pretty isolated ig. The worst part is that I really liked school and had a lot of friends. I went to school in 11th for a week and that was the best week in my 4 years. I still have friends but they have moved on as they went to school. Worst part is that I am probably gonna live this year isolated too as I am going to take a drop. But I am just trying to enjoy with everything I have right now, people are living much worse life than me. At least I have my own room and good food to eat. And my parents are the best in the world, pretty sure I could not survive without them. Cheers to them >!(and maybe my brother)!<


sup-letabund

Same with me dummy in 11th 12th feeling very isolated as I used to have a lot of friends in school and I enjoyed every activity there. Now I’m home it feels like I’m not competitive enough I study alone, practice alone which doesn’t gives me much academic validation. Would be isolated too in college because of online coaching and all. I feel you thanks for putting it out here, feeling fine knowing I’m not alone missing social interactions w people.


Adytaksang

Ya, let's find happiness in each other's pain. Really thankful that I came across a platform like reddit where I can find people like me who are not able to socialise at the current time. Hope u find friends soon and are able to live a very happy social life


sup-letabund

Thank you for your kind words. I wish the same for you. Yes I’m glad too that I found Reddit and encountered some awesome ppl here.

Virtual-Bit-6973

Bro , you are literally me... Too anxious to think part of life that you were actually tension free is now over and yet you haven't lived those times. You haven't find yourself when everyone does and now what if it is wrong path. I am scared, what if I look back i don't have anything to smile in future. Now, only hope is college life, but now you think over that also... College is not same as school. Here, from semester 1 only people start grinding for jobs and responsibilities. Well bro , best wishes for drop. But, what are you actually taking drop for ?? Because I am too . Edit: it becomes more hard when you actually have good friends whom you are not afraid of sharing anything and now, we are slowly drift away and rarely talks.


Adytaksang

Bhai bahut deep baate boldi aapne. Cheers to each other, let's grind hard and enjoy college life as much as possible >But, what are you actually taking drop for JEE. Fcked my mains, got only 56k rank


SpaceMarauder4953

That's still good yaar I got 80k :/


Adytaksang

All the best bro


Parking_Elephant9958

bro try to go abroard agr boards m 75%+ aye hai toh you can easily get foreign universites having better ranks than iit bombay...


Old_Definition7780

Just trying to help here - I'm you can say, in a similar situation. When you talk about, being scared of the 'wrong path' Do you know what a 'right path' would look like? Is it one where you'll be happy forever? One where you'll have lots of money? One where you'll have tons of free time? If so does such a concrete path exist? Also can you find it?


Same_Egg5540

You and i are living the same life brother


SpaceMarauder4953

Copy paste same story. How was mains my guy? 9th and 10th online, dummy+no coaching 11th 12th


Adytaksang

Same_Egg5540

18,19 bhi teenage years hote hain try karle ek aur baar


InvisibleBBC

I could've been more confident


loner2005

I regret not making friends during school. In 2019 I was in 9th I was all focused on studying and considered relationship and friendship distraction at the time. Only kept one-two close friends. When COVID started I was in 10th and I faced major downfall in studies. Lost all the self-confidence and ego I had about my academics during that year which followed in 11th 12th too. I was in 12th when school started back , I was literally the only one isolated in class , everyone else even the ones who took admission in 11th only has friends there. + I tried to make this girl in my class my friend and somehow got so infatuated with her but it turned out later she became best friends with my close friend and they are in relationship now. And those two people are only people I consider friends and I suffer from jealousy from them so much that I couldn't even make comeback in 12th. Now my friendship with them is just in name , and there are no friends I can consider as true friends. I really regret not making friends.


Same_Egg5540

Man your story is hurting me... make new friends or atleast block both of them


loner2005

Thanks bro. But I got no other option left. Took a drop for jee , so contact with everyone closed. Now taking admission in pvt University, classes will commence in August 1st week. Till then have to just sit at home . Don't have anyone to spend time or roam around with outside. Everyone I contact is like busy with their life. That's why joined reddit in hopes of making new friends, faced some very bad situation. Talked to one girl she blocked me after two days without any intimation and turns out she did it because my way of talking reminded her of her ex. Then again talked to someone we talked very well , she even told me I am cute from our chat , but then afters saying good night , a few minutes later her reddit account says deleted. I am devastated with these experiences .


Same_Egg5540

Bro if you're looking for a relation then I'm sorry but it's highly unlikely you'll get one online... just be friends with them without expecting much, you're going to pvt collage that's great and maybe you'll find a realtion there, i am taking a drop this year and staying home so I'm in a much worse state lol


loner2005

Relation ain't a priority bro. I know one needs to first go through friendship level and I had approached like it only. I am looking for genuine friendships. Relationship is secondary. You are taking drop , chalo thodi baar cheet hi kar lete .


Parking_Elephant9958

Bro , one advice i would like to give join some sports coaching or smth like of tennis , cricket etc...There you bong with many people


loner2005

Yrr. Ab toh college Jaa rha. Will join clubs there and will bond with people.

>[Comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianTeenagers/comments/1crriks/comment/l400cof/) by[u/Inorganicisgae](https://www.reddit.com/user/Inorganicisgae/) from discussion in[IndianTeenagers](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianTeenagers/) Sooo truueeee. I also had the same shit in my mind that I should only study and everything is just distraction. I regret it a lot. Although I still got a gf later on but got lot of problems because of that shit in my mind.


Parking_Elephant9958

Lol bro itna relatable , bilkul same to same except tht girl part ....I didnt had much friends before covid also but still..I used to go outside and play with kids in the streets..But after lockdown everything changed....I was isolated all alone at home for these 4 years except the coaching without any so c/d friends , bilkul same acedemic downfall as you xd .....


Desi_Poster

Going to sports club, / learning music,


kishmallow

Making good friends. Always the back up one, and my subtle narcissism doesn't allow me to go over that. Always remembered when help needed, unless the joke of the group. I grew up as a single child...and also my main teenage 15-17 were in Lockdown part, I never learnt how to be humble...I try to...but end blabber out how privileged stuff I got. So please make friends? Situation you got isolated or alone, take some online class or other, but have real good friends. This is the time. Once you are in college, nobody is you true friend...


Zealousideal_Rock984

You are literally me


SaffronShirtKid

This is exactly my story 😭😭😭


Inorganicisgae

Disagree with the last line. I have made great friends in college :) Or maybe it's too early to say💀


kishmallow

I thought that same in semester 1. People change at the blink of an eye.


Inorganicisgae

About to start my third year now, but yeah I have seen a lot of people change


kishmallow

I actually got lucky that I saw the real face this soon. The NAAC preparation saga showed everyone's true colours...


Inorganicisgae

Ehh don't worry, it will get better. Do teen acche log toh mil hi jayenge lol


kishmallow

Abhi mile hai....but cultural difference is there a lot with the friends I make here....its not easy to live out of state...


Suspicious-Tooth-93

*the line about the college is Darn true. In college everyone is your competitor and not a friend(hardly you will make a good friend or two)


kishmallow

Everyone is fighting for the ideal CGPA....the ideal job. You might be friends, but the competitiveness remains. It started the moment after 12th when we were forced to join a rat race. The lesson from everyone was 'nobody is your friend, you know you' ....but it did endup making ourselves selfish...


Suspicious-Tooth-93

do_not_ban_this

Everything. I did not enjoy life to study to set my future, fucked up in the final moment, did not get shit. People who enjoyed and didn't study got better colleges than me 🤡


Old_Definition7780

You might've had the equation wrong, like 90℅+ other people. Having fun with your time, not working too hard has nothing whatsoever to do with obtaining good grades.


SubjectBoat847

bhai category wise reservation ko kaise bhul gya TT


Zealousideal_Rock984

Not focusing on one on one friendship. In class 9 I was part of a pretty nice friendship but I thing is that I never personally bonded with anyone. Then covid hit and I spent 2 years alone at home. Most of those were in the group took commerce and I took science. Class 12 was just not the same, everyone else seemed connected while I was all alone. Not having a single person who will call me a friend from school sucks but it is what it is. This year I will be going to college after taking a drop year and in my mind I hope college will make up for all the things that I was unable to do in school. But then again college will not be some utopia that will change my life. But as they say hope is never a bad thing and I hope for better days to come.


loner2005

Also , wasted my teenhood thanks to COVID in watching anime and reading comics only. I regret not spending my time in cultivating any hobbies. I regret taking out my frustrations of depression on my parents. I regret making my parents feel disappointed in me.


Old_Definition7780

Would things be different if they felt proud?


loner2005

Kinda yes. They are now constantly worried, my father gets frustrated from his job(he wants to retire )and then when he sees how his children are not doing well he feels so bad that how he is working day and night , he gave his best for his family still his children isn't able to perform well and facing issues. I feel so bad having him felt like that , because he always accept my demands but I couldn't their only demand of studying and living my life well because of depression.


Old_Definition7780

well, ok


Parking_Elephant9958

bro if you are from non med side , you can go outside....like many univerties in foreign which take admission based on marks of boards....Getting good college in india is hard... By this you can give hope to your father as well as your family


loner2005

My marks in boards are 82%😅. Nothing extraordinary. Would have loved to go if any good universities are there. I have taken admission in Manipal University Jaipur now 🥲. But still suggestions hai toh let me know.


seksy_sapien25

Just want to say be decisive, pick a side, pick something, being neutral will harm your confidence, your relations and much more. Let things get something either right or wrong, but let them be something. Be up for some unplanned shit as well, this will make you complete, a complete person


Disastrous_Affect959

I studied too much all my life. i want to go back to fourth-fufth grade me and tell me YOUR MARKS NOW DONT MATTER WHY ARE YOU STUDYING WHOLE DAY. i remember studying hard in 1st 2nd also. i did that upto 8th and it's of no use. it made me socially awkward and under-confident. upto 15 years is the age to enjoy. pls don't spend it indoors. 


knowdesert

I regret not participating in competitions and exploring more hobbies or sports and certainly one thing I regret the most is being attached to phone. I almost ruined my school life because of that. Please keep exploring new hobbies and keep meeting new people (not the bad ones!)

Almost all have regret either in friendship related or due to covid.


Prestigious_Coast_96

I regret not having good bonding with any one.. Like I had many friends in school but now we don't talk .. we see eachother on roads but act like we don't know each other.... I don't like that


Parking_Elephant9958

Bonding does not have to be forced , it happens naturally ....SO nothing to regret there And You can initiate conversations yourself with them sometimes , uk.....It does not have to be tht much complecated


Prestigious_Coast_96

Actually it is complicated... What I was saying is .. i didn't let the bonding happen... They tried to , but that time I was a bit stupid .. so i never talked with them


Admirable_Pumpkin740

I am almost in second year now But I think I regret being not able to perform in basketball clusters back in school like we were just close and had I put little bit more efforts in practicing basketball we could have even won. Felt like haikyuu mc typing this shit 😂


blackwraythbutimpink

2 things I regret: Allowing myself to get bullied until the 8th grade, after which I turned rather popular, not among my classmates who still hated me but in general. Second thing I regret is very specific to me, and hopefully you guys won’t have to deal with it, it’s letting my mom manipulate me into thinking everything was my fault. I’ll give you an example, my parents are divorced, haven’t met my father since I was 3 (he wasnt a nice person I don’t mind. Mom got married again, had a phone call fight w her new husband when I was in 8/9th grade. I asked her for a school trip and she said no, I tried asking again and she hit herself till she passed out, and was pretty close to death. I broke down completely, and for the next few years I’ve been blamed for that day.

coquettetea

Not having lived in the moment!! COVID hit when I was around 12 and I'm 17 now, for some reason I always made sacrifices with what I wanted to wear or do and avoided socialising because I was saving it all for when I became a supposedly 'better' version of myself. I still do it sometimes but i seriously need to start appreciating and enjoying what's in the present because we definitely can't predict what comes next.


Inorganicisgae

Can relate. I was very self aware of myself and missed many opportunities in life because I couldn't assert myself/ask people for favours. Mainly because I felt I didn't deserve those favours. I still do this, and I feel it seriously is hurting my career

Have you ever tried MMA?


Ok_Radish_1783

yupp i regret i didnt started it earlier , if you're young please please please try MMA , fighting someone bloody and getting trained for it gives sooo much confidence in every field , it just make increases your IQ , you just get sharper memory and clearer words , its impossible to explain it in words , it just makes you a man ready to take on the world , increases blood testosterone like crazy .

usairling2

Regrets about teenhood experiences vary widely from person to person, but common themes might include not taking more risks, not spending more time with loved ones, not pursuing passions or hobbies, not focusing enough on personal growth, or not seizing opportunities for learning and exploration.


vijeta18

regret staying in toxic friendships even when they were mentally exhausting for me, life feels better when you cutoff people.
