1. You do everything by yourself and feel isolated from others.
The more mature you are, the more you can handle everything by
yourself and it feels like you don’t want to be anyone’s burden. You’ve
even always said,
“I’ve got this,” to those who are sincerely
willing to help you. More often than not, you feel lonely and isolated,
but you feel proud of yourself on being strong and independent at the
same time.
2. You realize that you have some issues with yourself.
You know exactly that you have issues to overcome; whether it’s about
your anxiety, mood swings, trust issues, or her issues which disturb
your well-being. You will acknowledge when, how, and in what condition
those issues will appear and you’ll give your best efforts to overcome
them.
3. You have a strong desire to cut off some unnecessary relationships.
As time goes by, you will feel that you have a lot of acquaintances,
but few friends. You begin to question your relationships with other
people; you start to realize who’s real and who’s not, who wants to stay
or vice versa. You’ll feel disappointed, guilty, and sad towards losing
some friends that you loved, but you’re brave enough to leave the
relationships which were toxic and emotionally abused your inner self.
4. It’s hard for you to trust people.
Not only because you’re being selective about your friends, but also
because you won’t easily buy people’s bullshit. You’ve been disappointed
a lot of times by betrayals and broken promises; you know exactly how
the real world works. But, once you believe in some people, you will be
loyal to them and you will do anything to maintain that relationship.
5. You always feel that your life is boring.
It’s
hard for you to feel satisfied with your life; there’s always something
more you would like to achieve. The same routines and work will bore
you to death and you’ll always be thinking,
“What’s next?”
which makes you always want to strive more. Moreover, your life is
“boring” because you have less unnecessary drama in your life- which is
something to be proud of.
6. You are too familiar with the feeling of sadness.
For you, life has no sugar coats; there are days when you feel
hopeful, but there are also times when you feel like you’re at the
lowest point of your life. You are able to accept the broken hearts,
failures, disappointment, and the feeling of sadness. You acknowledge
that life is not always about being happy. But even though you feel the
pain, you are able to bounce back again and realize that there were
lessons from everything that happened.
7. You always feel like you’re running out of time.
More often than not, you feel that 24 hours a day are not enough. You
barely have enough sleep and you always find yourself in busy
situations. It’s a struggle for you to spare time for yourself and your
loved ones. There will always be something you have to do and sometimes
you are too hard on yourself in doing things. This means that you have a
strong determination to be successful.
8. You regret the mistakes you’ve made in the past.
It’s easy for you to blame yourself for any mistakes that you made in
the past. You acknowledge that you’ve made some bad decisions and
sometimes you want everything to go back to how it used to be. But, you
realize that regret will take you nowhere and the only thing that you
can do is to not repeat the same mistakes you’ve done.
9. You always miss your childhood, family, and your loved ones.
Growing up sucks and you always find yourself looking back to your
old life when everything was according to its place. You live on your
own and being separated with your family and loved ones is not easy at
all. But, deep down inside you don’t want to give up; you’re fully aware
that all the struggles and success will be the best gift for all the
people that you love.
10. You feel lost, confused, and anxious about your future.
You appear to be bold and strong, but most of the time you feel extremely
insecure about your own life.
You’ve always questioned yourself regarding what you really need and
what your life purpose is. You don’t exactly know how life supposed to
be, simply because many unexpected things happen. But, despite all the
confusions and fears, you can manage yourself to always finish your
responsibilities and work. At the end of the day, you always take things
one day at a time and you fully understand that everything will happen
according to your own time zone.
