If it makes it any better, a lot of media about teenagers like that is written by wistful adults in a similar place as you. It's why I don't care for media focusing on teenager or 20-somethings anymore.

(Presuming you go from old age) you've still got twice as long to live as you've already lived, and all of that with an adult brain to work things out with; you have plenty of time

I found myself in my 50s, if it helps at all. I spent years wondering who I was and what was wrong with me, and then it was like one day I looked and there I was. Handle in there. It's not too late at all.

I'm in my thirties as well and still figuring myself out. Every year I feel like I'm getting closer to who I'm meant to be. It's never too late, OP.

On the one hand I feel you.

On the other, I would not want to be a teenager with most of my life still ahead of me in today's world and the way it's headed. Good luck fixing it for us old folks, kids.

i don't think there's any guarantee that anyone has actually figured themselves out. plenty of people think they're settled/stable/enlightened and then encounter something that has them guessing all over again, even in their 70s and 80s.

Just a couple days ago, a friend I've known since we were kids said she began to unpack some traumas and asked questions about herself after watching Heartstopper.

We're both in our late 30s.

She wants to start journaling so she can collect her thoughts and feelings more.

If you see this OP, it's never too late to figure yourself out. Never.

I didn't really face my fears and curiosity around sex and my sexuality until I was in my mid 30s.
I definitely went through a phase of grief for me and jealousy/envy of young queers when a lot of the "discovering who I am" stories I saw/heard were from people in their teens and 20s.
But I eventually found a lot of adult queers sharing their journeys and discoveries with their sexuality/identity well into adulthood.

No one has an "easy" path in life. Please don't count yourself out OP.

I get it

I am in my early 40s and have felt the same for the oast 10 years or so. It is not even the age thing, I just feel like I have so much to do I dont have the time - actual or mental - to do such frivolous (said with self depreciation) things as explore who I am or want to be.

I hate that my teens were spent working to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads, I feel like I missed so much and can never recapture things.

It's never too late until you're dead, OP, and even then there may be an afterlife. Go for it! Explore yourself!
