These are just a few of the things I can think of which I'm feeling like "missing out" on. I will say though that I'm conflicted because I've had one side of my brain wanting to do these things because other people are but another side not wanting to
- Not having an active social network of 2 or 3 friends
- Not having casual intimate experiences or relationships by a certain stage of life despite being worried of STIs and risks of getting someone pregnant by mistake despite the availability of protection.
- Not actively going down to the bars and clubs despite having tried pub crawls, at least one nightclub but I don't like the music they play.
- Not going to many concerts and gigs as I am much a fan of music as the next person but many big names play in venues much further afield from where I live. If I lived closer then I'd go.
- Not travelling solo abroad despite not wanting to travel alone.
I can't help but feel there are people out there doing all these things I mentioned and it's making seem like in order to "live life" you have to be doing these things and they are not going to be complaining online later about not missing out on anything.
