Now please, do not get the impression Im some sexually frustrated nerd, no. Ive had my fair share of experiences with the ladies, just not to the caliber that I've seen around campus.

Sounds to me like you need to hit the gym bro! Im 21yrs old myself I'm married, I have a 8month Old daughter and im deployed. I went through the same thing you are when i was 17. I looked at the jocks with the ladies like damn that should be me! The problem was i was 6'1" 136lbs kind of a bean pole. So I started hittin the gym I played football my senior year. Got picked for Biggest flirt my senior year lol. Then joined the Army National Guard right after graduation. Then everything kinda feel into place. I guess what im saying is Everything dont happen right away you'll find your self just give it time bro.

Hope this helps you man best of luck bro

And go party and meet chicks and

Pretty arrogant thing to say man. Didn't know you had to be a certain age to have questions and problems.

I think myself, and other people who have posted here saying they've gone through the same would say otherwise. And me stating my opinion has nothing to do with my age.

I am not 100% sure this is the place to be looking for these kind of answers. You will get a lot of people that will be telling you to adapt their life style (ie. drop the vans and hollister and pick up some steve maddens) and then you will get some smart a$$es telling you that you are immature and so on. I have met many many professional/successful people that wear vans and hollister, so I think your clothing selection should be based on what you are wanting to do for the rest of your life (which seems like this is what we are trying to figure out).

I am 25 years old, own my own business and financially am in a better spot than the majority of the people around me. Money is important to me and, to me, is my way to measure my success along with other things. There are a lot of people out there that money is not important to them. Figure out what is important to you. When I was in your spot I had to answer the following things to myself:

1. Where am I now?
2. Where do I want to be in 5 years and is it realistic?
3. What is important to me in life?
4. Who am I surrounding myself with right now and are they helping me to get to where I want to go in life or are they dragging me down?
5. Have I gotten everything out of my system that I need to at this age? (If not that will only hold you back. Wishing you could be back where you were)

There are a lot of things to take into consideration and I'd be more than happy to chat with you about it. You are where I was at that age. I made many big decisions in my life that have helped me get to where I am. I have my Psychology degree and like to help people out in any way possible.

I think it is a personal journey that you are going through, that everyone goes through. Sorry "PoorMansCamaro", I do not agree with you. Identity crisis occur at many ages and many times in people's life.

I subscirbed to this thread. I am interested to see how things go for you bro. Best of luck and it takes a lot of patience and soul searching. Don't give up and don't settle for anything less than you want and deserve.

Blacklite, one more tid bit of advice. Ignoring people who are trying to bring you down becuase of their insecurities with themselves will get you far in life. You will run into a lot of them.

PoorMansCamaro · 01-10-2011, 07:51 PM

I know that identity crisis can occur at any age, but if you dissagree that the majority happens at a younger age (teens), then perhaps you need to go back to school, or just need more experience. Of course there's "mid-life crisis", which obvioulsy this kid is not in. lol

The only reason i thought he was younger was because of his responses. I'm probably wrong, but i'm just saying.

PoorMansCamaro · 01-10-2011, 07:54 PM

oh, and there's a HUGE difference between not knowing where you want to be in 5 years, and not knowing what kind of clothes to wear or how they should change their personalities.

Good advice. That, or use that to help fuel your "fire".
