Is it normal that i hate being young?

I am 24 and absolutely hate it. I feel like my 20's are the most bullshit age ever, not really much better than my teens. Most people my age still act exactly the same as they did 10 years ago and still play the same childish bullshit games. It's hard to make friends if you don't meet people through your job. Everyone is too busy playing immature games to just be upfront about things because that's "weird". Reminds me of junior high.

People aren't quite as cruel as they were in their teens, but they're usually still quite cruel. They get jealous easily and everything is a competition.

It's a constant competition of who's the most "grown up". Also reminds me of junior high, just on a slightly different scale. If you don't do what they think is "adult", they think you're not a "real adult". Funny, I didn't know that knowing what you wanted out of life and refusing to cave to peer pressure or not doing something for no better reason than because everyone else is and you don't want to be the last was immature.

I think youth is completely overrated and I'm so sick of being told that my 20's are the best time of my life and to cherish them. I was told that about my teens and that was also a crock of shit. Honestly, the only people who miss being teenagers or 20-somethings, think it was the best time of their lives, and want to go back are the people who never outgrew the childishness of those ages.
