Am I weird?

I amen / was the same. You don't miss out on shit. I enjoy reading light novels. If i were to tell an outgoing face of the party person that he/she misses out id be laughed at. Guess what. People like different things. Do what you like. You don't need to become sheeple to appease others

Some people will tell you to “Go out there and try new things” or “Challenge yourself”. Others will tell you to “focus on your education” or “focus on improving yourself” or “Focus on finance” etc

The truth is, NONE of these people are YOU. Only you can figure out what you want in life.

Try Introspection. Ask yourself some questions... What do I want to do in life? Why do I want to do that? Do I really need to do or be anything to be happy? What is my purpose? Do I really need a purpose? etc etc

There are millions of questions to ask yourself.

As for missing out? I think, You’re only missing out if you think you’re missing out. You are going to have regrets in life no matter what path you choose. We all do.

I wish you good fortune young whipper snapper!

In my 20's all I wanted was to read a lot of books and train a lot of martial arts.

Now I'm well past that I can look at all the books I have in my case, knowing that I have read dozens more that I have given away or borrowed. All kinds of subjects as well as a lot of fiction. It has left me with a mind that may no longer have the raw horsepower of youth, but is sleek like a Lexus.

I can feel proud of all the training camps and dojos I went to in different countries, and enjoy watching mma and seeing the younger guys go at it, knowing what they must go through.

What will the party guys remember and be proud of in their later years? Probably fuck all.

The hedonistic times I had don't really form long term memories that give me any satisfaction.

So you do the things you want to do, and fuck all the rest.

I was the same way. The people you are describing was very much like my siblings and I was the more introverted type who was more likely to be into geekier stuff with a small group of friends than large crowds and being the center of attention. As long as you’re happy with what you are doing than you fine. I’m more happier going to a comic store with my friend and chatting her to death about why I need a new hulk statue than going to some party looking for drugs and someone to hook up with.

I'm similar. I did the wild and reckless phase from 15-18 and i saw firsthand how much it sucks to be involved with the law and also how those "friends" will turn on you if it's convenient. I don't think i have been DRUNK, per say, since I was a teen.

When I was 19, it was like I became an old man and my early 20s were lived like a 55yr old. I moved beyond that phase, but i've always been an old soul.

You are actually normal, they are the weird ones.

Amen about small talk too. I enjoy my own company in solitude so let's talk about deep things or I don't see the point. I have little shame and i freely speak about "personal" things. I think the people who are mega secretive are insecure but that is just my opinion.

Perfect! Jump in head first and learn everything you can about your chosen craft until the age of 40. Get paid, but value good experience over good money. Use these wild adventures as your fun. By 40, you will be able to command an insane salary, and you can buy whatever reality you desire. 40+, focus on compensation until you are ready to retire. God speed.

Just means you think for yourself, IMO. Unusual? yes. Weird? no

What you have is great. Just for your safety, check your testosterone level (not overall, but for a 21 years old guy). Enjoy what you have. Prepare yourself to retire at 40, and do what you like.

You are missing nothing important. You can start partying at 30 and at 40s without issues!

You are not like other people, or more like, you are not like the image they push thru the media. But, that is ok. There are lots of people just like you, hiding away in normal everyday life, not TV life, or movie life. So, be true to yourself, and do your own thing. You say that you are interested in "life fulfillment and a career of helping people". But this is rather abstract. How do you help people in your job?

You are actualyl correct, when you are old you look back and think why did i waste my priem time in stupid things with my idiots freinds i should have had done something useful fuck those ''memories'' and experiences they are useless haha. So you are actually correct the trick is that the vast mayority of young people are not and being correct at that age feels lonely but is very worth it. Makign friend at that age is veyr importnat but is nto if your friends are just idiots as well, but if you can make friends that think like you do somehow that would be even better but they hard to find of course.

I’ll be counterpoint here. Sure you don’t have to get compound fractures to be having fun. And sure you have to be true to yourself. But Isolation often leads to depression. Interesting and fun men seem to do better with women, make more friends, have more life opportunities, etc.

Are you quite sure you aren’t depressed? Your name is Supersadguy25 after all. It can be surprising what changes with high and low levels of different neurotransmitters.
