Is 18 too young to be bitter?

[Cobbs]

I just realised after 18 straight hours of doing little more than read and generally be broody, i am a very bitter person deep down. The phrase "Why bother you'll just get fucked over again" has sprung to mind many a time.
Anywho my question still stands. Is their an age limit to absoloute bitterness, and if you are udner it is their something severly wrong with you?
Thoughts, Comments, Criticism's and STFU you mopey shit's are all welcome

Shit no, I'm 18 and I'm bitter.
You're never too young to start seeing the world with jade colored glasses.

 

[Blimey]

Fuck mate, I was thinking that at 16. You're doing pretty good to only be doing at 18.

 

[HK_01]

Nope, not at all. By the age of 18, life can already have thrown a lot of shit at you.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

If it is, I'm too bitter to care.

 

[smithy_2045]

I hope not, I was a bitter cynical teenager long before turning 18.

18-20 Is actually considered to be the most stressful period of most peoples lives. I think you're fully entitled to be bitter.

Any age is too young to be bitter...

What's bugging you?

 

[Jonluw]

Nah. My teacher could apparently tell from my essay that I was a pretty jaded person. She wanted to know if I listened to any Nirvana.

 

[Danzaivar]

It's part of being a teenager!

You'll probably grow out of it, then grow back into it around retirement age.

You are truly an inspiration tonight pal. Saw something you posted a while back and it just struck a chord.
You are legend and as such i shall mail you a cookie sometime

It's not too young to be bitter. As a matter of fact it's pretty much a natural age to be bitter. And I speak from experience when I say it'll get better as you age a bit. I'm closing in on 24 and I gotta tell you, over the last few years it's like a thunderstorm has slowly been settling down into a gentle breeze up there. It's great.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

It's probably more hormonal than any sort of adapted sense of the world's shittyness, at that age.

 

[Astoria]

Well if you're too young than I was beyond too young. I've been bitter since age 11.

Is their an age limit to absoloute bitterness, and if you are udner it is their something severly wrong with you?

I think if you're bitter at age 18, or younger, you probably have very very little reason to be.
Unless you were molested, abused, or have some type of clinically diagnosed (Not self diagnosed) psychosis or something, you have no reason to be bitter. Most 'bitter' kids I see have had very very little real life experience, and are basing all of their angst and mopey attitude on what happens in school. Which is, for lack of a better term, utterly moronic.

I'm 26, have so much left to experience that you can only experience though age, and am absolutely loving life. I was bitter when I was a teen, but that's because I was a dumb-ass teen who thought he knew everything (Like most teens). You grow up, though, and realize that life is pretty kick-ass.

I've also found that when you're just generally happy, the bad things aren't so bad.
But when you're a bitter pessimist, the good things don't seem so good.

I, for one, choose happiness.

I've been bitter since I was twelve years old. You're fine.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Yep, welcome to the bitterness club, where the beer is as flat as an old tire (unless you live in America, in which case, here's a week-old Mountain Dew), the chips are stale and the video game collection consists of E.T. and Superman 64.

Jesus motherhumping christ you're all incredibly depressing.

This guy put it best:

And to give a more personal example of why you shouldn't be bitter... my girlfriend, a girl that I truly thought I would spend my life with (and who also thought we were going to spend our lives together) recently broke up with me due to a bunch of reasons, some legit, some bullshit. She said she still loves me, and we will try again someday, and she truly hopes that we work out, but I was so crushed that I couldn't learn the patience until I heard this quote:

‎"A great love is a lot like a good memory. When it's there, and you know it's there, but it's just out of your reach, it can be all that you think about. And.. you can focus on it, and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient, and you hold still, well maybe... just maybe... it'll come to you."

Some people on here may know what it's from... which makes the quote not only meaningful, but surprising.

I don't know if it's a relationship thing that's made you that bitter, but even if it isn't, take this to heart. Learn patience. If you keep trying to force whatever little bit of happiness you can, you could damn well push it away, and turn bitter. If you just get on with life and learn to wait, it could come to you.

18-20 Is actually considered to be the most stressful period of most peoples lives. I think you're fully entitled to be bitter.

Where in the bloody hell did you hear that load of bull?
