Today I (20F) had a chat with my younger cousins (16F and 14F) at Christmas lunch about hookup culture and underage drinking. They were talking about how there were people their ages who were regularly drinking underage, hooking up at parties and even having sex. This conversation triggered me a bit, because I am a 20 woman who never drank underage, I have never hooked up with anyone which includes never having sex.
It’s weird because I feel a sense of FOMO even though I really don’t want to be a part of drinking culture or hook up culture. I have nothing against people who do so, but I just don’t enjoy such things.
It makes me feel like I’m broken, and that I am so unusual and weird. Finding others like me has been incredibly difficult, and being surrounded by people who love to drink and who are in relationships has worsened mindset.
Should I be worried that I didn’t drink at all underage and that I don't like hookup culture?
