Am I really missing that much?

Lately I've been thinking about all the stuff I havent done, I've never lived alone, gone out clubbing, been drunk just like 3-4 times and almost all of those were while out with my husband, never hand a one night stand, never smoked pot or did drugs, never spent the night outside my home if not in vacation with family or hubby... I hear people talk about tripping on acid, eating shrooms, smoking pot, waking up in the middle of nowhere, one night stand, waking up with strangers, pulling all nighters at events of friends house, I've barely been to concerts, overall my life has been quite dull because I was overprotected as a child, my 29 and 31 yeard old bro and sis have actually been less "active" than I am... I dont miss what I never had and I dont regret my life, but when I hear all the stories and see pictures of people doing cool stuff I get so jealous :(

Hey, you also missed out on all the neat stuff like crying yourself to sleep because you're too drunk, getting so paranoid you sit at the door listening for demons/police/murderers, and feeling like you have a second skin of grime after 10 hours of tripping.
Waing up in the middle of nowhere is not that great either seeing as it usually happens after you've lost your wallet and blacked out. LOL

Trust me the only cool things you listed were living alone, taking a vacation, and going to concerts.
 
Oh, I also had black and blue hair... am actually thinking of doing that again... along with the tongue piercing...
 
oh..and one night stands....


AWKWAAARD when you run in to em later :)
 
Yes you are missing out. Partying when youre young and energetic is everything you could imagine it to be.
Heres how it works: party when young, get it out of your system, then settle down and get married, or just stay single but party less. Or get married young, stay till the bitter end, divorce, then do all the partying you missed out on to make up for lost time.
People here will tell you you aint missing shit but if you are the type of person that doesnt want to have any "what ifs" or regrets, then you will wish you partied and had fun when you could. The fact you made this thread shows its on your mind at least in some capacity.
 
I agree with trex about the living alone thing

thats pretty cool...so is traveling alone
but then it gets...lonely!


you havent missed much, the rest is really sort of depressing
 
when I was young (a gazillion years ago) I tried several types of drugs out of intellectual curiosity.

most didn't do much for me ... some I knew would lead me down a bad road (e.g. cocaine).

I wouldn't wish addiction on anyone, but if I had it to do all over I would still experiment.
 
This is America.
Youre born, you get older, you party while young. Or you short change yourself and party later to" make up for lost time" as everyone says.
 
disagree, theres tons of great shit to do and if youre with the right people, you can avoid most of the pitfalls.

it's all economies of scale...when my ancestors came to this country, they were just ecstatic to be here...in the land of opportunity...to be the masters of their own destiny...to be free of the caste system that they lived under in europe...to be able to choose their own destiny...their needs (by today's standards) were probably pretty simple...but i was told all those stories and i remember them all...and generally, i am happy for what i have, rather than unsatisfied for what i don't have...the times they are a changin'...we will learn to be satisfied with less...it's inevitable...the sooner you come to grips with that reality, the sooner you can stop worrying and start living (carnegie props) :)
 
it's just that I've alwys been so serious, so mature, so resposible, never let my hair down and ironically I am pretty wild but never do anything about it, I went from HS direct to college, took extra courses and graduated a year later, had I really polished myself on my thesis I'd be 25 with a PhD under my belt, and being a psychologist means looking "normal" so the things I like (piercings, black nail polish, hair color, boots, mad eyeliner, funky clothing, etc) are inappropriate... specially since my target population is seniors

I use to take out most of my energy in bed with my ex-bf but with husband it's more tame, and being alone now is even worse... I kinda wanna scream and let it all out... :s

Sounds like youre oppressing the hell out of yourself and not staying true to yourself. Sounds like its just a matter of time until the pressure release valve breaks.
And that might not be a bad thing.
 
I wouldnt know how to have fun even if I googled it and found instructions on ehow.com :lmao: the no driving is the ultimate fuck up to my having fun.... Im thinking of buying a motorcycle, I dunno... funny cuz lately I'm really into Adam Lambert, I think I like him because he just goes out all glamoured up just like I wish I could (minus the glitter xD)

Are you happy? If the answer is yes then you are doing fine and should start a mutual admiration society with digi. :) Most of the people on this planet worry about feeding themselves and surviving, if your biggest issue is that you can't get attention from guys at the club, on a girls night out, who just want to conquer your poon then consider yourself fortunate. You're probably in the top 1% happiest humans club.
 
naw i dont crave othre's attention, I'd just lie to be a little more "me"but the little me within is pretty weird looking :) so every now and then she pops out and I push the bitch down because I aint getting any younger and I have to grow up... maybe i can be a little crazy before i start practicing here...life makes things hard for me, i cant even wear wywliner right due to my damn poor eyesight, cant see well enough to apply.... poop... As I said I dont regret my life and I'm quite happy...

It was pretty much a rhetorical question...Your husband is probably 100% nicer to you than some random bar guy would ever be...Don't hate on him because he forgot your wine once...are you listening Shirlene?
 
You're a psychologist?

You're not missing much from the bar scene.

Let's see:

1. Random dipshit dudes
2. Random dipshit girls
3. std's
4. fake ass people and everyone putting on an image
5. more dipshits

That about sums up the club scene imho.
 
ironically I know the answer to my own questions in this sense, even though im asking u guys if im missing out i know i probably am but it's not a big deal either because im happy and functional, but my curiosity and desire to vent are too big to just leave it in my head.... I'm so boring i can ask myself something, analyze it and answer myself xD I even know I just want y'all to tell me im not missing much.... I hate analyzing everything... I guess it's what makes me good at what I do *sigh*

As a normal human being I love expanding the bad and minimizing the good... classig human behaviour... I know better but hey... even cardiologists get heart attacks right? :)

well nan, i sorta represent the extreme of human behavior. i overindulged in
everything all the time. i paid the high cost of low living and i've no regrets.
it took what it took to be the me sitting in this chair typing this dribble.

did you / are you missing anything? strictly speaking, yes. the real question
is "WHAT" are you missing. i'm sure you understand "there is no free lunch."
when one engages in one night stands, drug use and all the various vice
and debauchery, there are "prices" to be paid. this is neither good or bad,
it is merely the law of consequence. if you engage in risky activity, you'll
have the momentary pleasure of the act itself and a life long memory of
your exploits, unless of course you are in a drug induced amnesia. sometimes
there are consequences to these actions that effect you the rest of your life.

what a great question with some heavy philosophical implications! ( i'm
like you in that i think too much lol.)
 
you should start off being a rebel slow...

grow a beard
get a leather jacket
and post thumbs up pix!

set up a pof account and go around giving handy's!
 
If you were asking if you have missed out because you've never been in love, been in a relationship, only worked too hard and never had any time off, never had any fun - I'd say yes, you've missed out. But since you asked about the partying and drinking/drugs - no way missie. Sounds like you've done it right to me. Sometimes I also questions why I didn't go away to college when I was younger, and being so independant I'm often alone (live alone, etc). And then you think of the alternatives - maybe if I had gone away I wouldn't have done well in school, got the jobs that I did, got addicted to drugs, etc. The whole "am I missing out" feeling I think is why I feel like relocating for a job right now, I want an adventure.
 
Yes. I have to disagree with the second half of what Rachel said. Just because you go out and about doesn't mean that you have to toss aside all of your morals. If it's something that you'd like to do or try, I say go for it. Assuming there won't be any damage to others...
But even then that's sometimes okay. ;-) sry about the hair Nate. lolool

Whiskey
 
Yes re: missing much. If you don't experience ANYTHING, you obviously missed that experience. Better question is, does it matter? You can't redo life.
Not a huge deal, I'd say. Though I'm all for gathering experiences. Typically the "negative" ones turn into positives down the road. I'm very glad I did all the drugs and partying I did as a youngin. Can't wait to look my future son in the teenage face and laugh when he tries to pull one over on me - "Son, been there and done that - about 10x bigger and badder, too".

It's like with fights. Fighting is a seemingly negative experience but, I can't give a man 100% respect unless he's been in that situation. You learn a lot about yourself during fights.
 
One night stands,drugs,waking up in the middle of nowhere gave me some of the best memories of my life! I also have a family now and travel alot...i feel that so far i have fufilled my life
 
i have done all these things and WISH i could go back in time and fix them because they just fucked me up more,lol your not missing anything u have a perfect normal life

i have,did many drugs,use to be a drug dealer,i have had one night stands,pulled to many all nighters drunk and loaded and crawl into work back in the day(walmart,not fun),i did other thigns that i wont talk about lol..when i was in my teens15-18 i use to get really drunk and messed up on pills/pot and a group of us would go swimming in random peoples pool then egg thier house,the good ole days lol..i seen weed crops,(not fun)had a gun pulled on me by a dealer,not fun,was did a couple years in juvy,(not fun)lol way to many things that were not cool,as i look back now i laugh but at the time of actions all i could think was how stupid am i lol,so hey id trade me screwed up life for your normal life anyday

i think the longest i went drinking without stopping was like a month,1 bottle of ither vodka or rum followed by a 6-12pack everynight..O how i use to black out so much
 
the only reason people truly go to the clubs and bar is for the hunt of the oppsite sex,everybody wants to get laid..me?i hate clubbing i been to bourbon a couple times just was never me,im not a fan of large crowds ,and espc large crowds of drunks and druggies,and

idk if anyone here ever been to burbon but most of the people have bad crime history most of them walk around with firearms and knives,so many murders its not even fun last time i went for mardi graws they had a shootout down the road
 
clubs are so gay now....prob because im getting older..i love just spending time with my kids, friends and gf going boating and what not
 
eh, i guess i cant really comment
ive always been too into health and my bbing.
never done any rec drugs( cept steroids), never been drunk in my life. probably have only went "clubbing" 6-8 times in my life and never drank at any of em.

sure ive had lots of random sex( mainly from net whoring, the gym, bouncing @ clubs and taking advantage of stupid drunk whores when i was horny and bored)

i honestly have NO regrets. Possibly cause ive worked as a bouncer so long and seen more than my share of the immorality and stupidity that scene can cause ive never had any interest whatsoever in experiencing it myself.


just my .02 nans. be happy with where you are at.
 
I went through a divorce and that made me a very strong person plus i got 2 beautiful kids out of it....i have no regrets...
 
better to hit the bar/club scene as a 20 something and get it out of your system than to be a 30-40 something and acting like a child.


i'm already tired of bars and i still have youth on my side. that said, i'm very glad i have the experiences i have from going out.
 
i sense divorce coming in 3...2....1....
 
Youll never hear of anyone that wished they never partied or got wild when they were young. But you will sometimes hear people that never partied say they wish they had.
 
I don't think it will cause me much dissatisfaction, I'm pretty happy with life and seeing that my career (when finished) pays a bucket load, I'll have more opportunities to enjoy life :) but yeah I do wonder sometimes, mostly when I hear storied or see people's FB and see all the shit they've lived I'm like "wow... I never did that"

This i can totally Relate to ,also many yrs back Byron had a festival that turned into it's own woodstock,I was there.You could buy Pot or any drug out in the open,what memories.Hells Angels showed up,all in all it was a peaceful event except when the ticket gate got torn down from too many people.

Do it while you're young because it gets alot harder and less fun as you get older.

I don't think that is correct. I wish all the time that I was not so boozy in High School or College. Especially now when I feel like my brain is detoriating on a daily basis.

No, I would say the only people that don't have some regrets are the ones still trying to hang on to that lifestyle.

agreed, I think it's more of an excuse for guys/girls both to go out and act like whores because they aren't ready to grow up.

I hear people talk about tripping on acid, eating shrooms, smoking pot, waking up in the middle of nowhere, one night stand, waking up with strangers, pulling all nighters at events of friends house, I've barely been to concerts, overall my life has been quite dull because I was overprotected as a child, my 29 and 31 yeard old bro and sis have actually been less "active" than I am... I dont miss what I never had and I dont regret my life, but when I hear all the stories and see pictures of people doing cool stuff I get so jealous :(

to be honest, some of my best memories are of doing acid, X, shrooms, coke, stoned, getting drunk, etc. I loved the laughing that comes with being with friends and acid, the music, seeing the Moody Blues tripping my ass off was damn fun, damn good times. Floating in innertubes down a lazy river doing shrooms on a sunny day. It definately was fun. Partying on X back in the early 80's. Holding a one ounce styrophome looking chunk of 98% pure coke, with your GF, and a bottle of Jack. That was cool.

BUT. that didn't last. Then come the red and blue lights, handcuffs, court, fines and probation. The depression, loss of jobs, friends, self-respect. The hours of crying, scared, wishing there was something that could stop the pain. Did I mention self-loathing, that too.

Yes, it was fun, but you can't tell the good times w/o also including the bad. That doesn't happen to everyone, but it is MY story.

Thanks for sharing bro ^_^
 
Been to a bar a handful of times. Been to a couple clubs. Been to 2 strip joints.

Seen 1 seen em all.

If you've gone to the bar even once you'll get a pretty good idea of what it's all about.

No, you really aren't missing much.

Do I regret some of the partying and drugs that I did in high school now? You bet your ass I do. I have some fond memories, but I had sooo much academic potential. I went from being a 4.0 student to a 1.3...

So ya, partying isn't all it's cracked up to be.

There are plenty of people that party'd hard and still went the way they wanted to go in life, but for everyone of them there is at least as many and probably more that look back like wtf was I thinking.

It's a lot easier to blame partying for your mistakes than it is to blame yourself.

Exactly. It's funny cause I did damn near every single drug imagineable, mostly in college, and did them in very heavy swings. Yet, when the lows overpowered the highs, I simply stopped. Each and every time. Not saying I'm anything special, but I did always live my life with a heavy focus on self policing, self awareness and self responsibility.

My point to all my d-bag friends who got caught up in the game is that drugs don't make you bad, you do it to yourself.
