Struggling with Missing Out on High School Experiences

Create a feeling an atmosphere or connection between people or animals my. Most amazing moments were singing and people sing with me looking in my eyes and holding my hand. Or riding a horse you connect with u just gotta find your passion what lights u up inside

I never went to high school so I feel u I missed all that stuff I’m 22 now and life is so much more than prom I know it’s what the popular kids do but it’s really not it. Never had one but magic moments happen so much and feelings are beautiful. Prom is an event of young people dancing and music that creates no magic nothing just romantic stuff for young couple to get their hearts broken later. Real magical moments are when you create what you want. Create energy

I'm 10 years out of high school now, but I had a partial and limited high school experience because of my health, as well. And it hurt, being excluded in those ways, so much at the time. But I will say, now that I've been out of it for a while....that pain really only lasts for a little while. Maybe, where something hurts, you can add joy? I like to give myself treats. So, maybe on the night something school-related is happening, do something you enjoy. Anything. It helps.

Hi hon. I dealt with the same thing later in high school (not the Covid stuff but leaving bc of my mental health) and I fully understand it SUCKS. It’s so hard to be away from your friends and not have those experiences. One thing that helped me was online friends, I created a fan page on ig that I met some great people on. Good news is, the internet is a huge thing now. You can meet so many people. Also, mental health tik tok takes home the gold for me. An amazing place to hear about others struggles and how they’ve overcome things (if you do this, I’d also suggest filling it with some other stuff that makes you happy.) I hope this helped, and feel free to reach out if you need to talk to someone who’s been there

I’ve had to unfollow people or mute their posts if they post things that upset me like this too. It’s definitely hard! I’m missing out on many things for different reasons so know how much it hurts when people are showing the life you want to be apart of too.
