What's Bothering You?

I feel really behind compared to a lot of other people my age. For context I'm 16, and it feels like everyone at my school is getting their act together way better than me. So many people are getting in relationships, everyone is getting their drivers license, everyone is already in the workforce, they have massive friend groups, they're already planning out their lives and then there's me. No car, no job, I've never even been on a date before, barely any close friends, and still no plans or aspirations for the future yet. I know I'm just starting but it already feels like I'm so behind compared to everyone else.

Hope this wasn't too long or sounded overly whiny, just some stuff on my mind.
 
You don’t need to worry! I’m a few years older than you, and I can’t drive, I’ve never had a job or been on a date, and I don’t really have any close friends. I have a vague idea for my future but no proper plans. I often feel behind too, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter. We’ll get where we want to be in the end.

I'm not particularly old, but I am getting to the age now where people I went to high school with are starting to get married and buy houses and stuff. But there's no timeline to life, and no set ages you need to do anything by. Between my friends I have someone getting married, another travelling the world with their partner, and then others who have never been in a relationship, and live at home with their parents still studying. Heck, I still don't have my license. Most people never have a clear idea what they actually want to do with their lives, but I remember very much feeling the stress when I was about your age. But looking back on it now, I really do think that there is plenty of time to figure things out, and stressing about rushing to do things you're "meant" to be doing will only make the journey less enjoyable 💚
 
Tired from not much sleep because of bad dreams. Also we are starting to get crazy busy at work because of people being worried about the possible hurricane that could hit on Thursday. Just announced a state of emergency because of the storm.
Stay safe.
I recently found out I'm too in the direction of this thing.
 
I’m worried about something. I’m okay, just nervous and a little lonely. I hope I didn’t mess up too. I asked my mom to take me out tomorrow just to get out of the house; I’m a bit nervous about that too.

Clearing out a kitchen cupboard and found a dead eight legged freak in a very old cup. Thankfully, the cup was going in the bin anyway. My heart is still racing. Now I'm terrified incase anymore are in there. At least when they are on the wall I can hoover them up. 😥
Edit: I found 2 in total, absolutely petrified but I did it! 😀

Apologies if this sounds whiney btw.

Wish I was able to make friends easier cause I don't have any close friends at all. The only close friend I have is my brother but since he's in college and in a completely different city we don't do stuff together frequently besides just call each other on the phone.
