I feel weird

Stress ko abot langit November 4, 2025 9:00 pm

I'm a college student (a freshie to be exact), but whenever I read college romance and it's smut, it feels so weird like... how do I word this... uh, it's like I'm seeing people my age having these type of relationships (having s*x and all that shi) and that I feel like they're too young to be doing those things (I know they're adults, but I really can't explain it cuz I dunno how to phrase it properly).

Maybe I feel this way cuz I've been single since birth (no crushes even). Or maybe because I have a strict mom, who only makes me focus solely on my studies, that I had no time for romance.

    sometimes I feel weird too cuz how are they finding times for this, especially mc who is a new architecture student. I remember my first year being absolute HELL since I'm adjusting to college life and the amount of assignments they give

    Aro-ace? I'm not really sure, but my prof once said I might be one, so… maybe? I'm still figuring it out.

    And you're so right about college being HELL. I'm in a prestigious university and the workload is insane. We barely get breaks unless it's an official holiday. I even almost lost my scholarship because of the nonstop requirements. So when I see manhwa about college romance and then the characters having time to flirt, date, and have sex every day like it's nothing, I'm just like: how??? I'm here drowning from assignments and regrets ಠ_ಠ

    I actually considered taking architecture once, but I was warned it's super busy, so I can totally imagine how unrealistic it is for a freshie to have that much free time. But this is just fiction, so I guess it's fine.

    your surroundings can greatly affect your perceptions of other things, are you perhaps raised in a conservative place that normal affection between lovers is supposed to be done privately? or growing up being told that "you're too young" for such things?

    Why is this low-key turning into a counseling session?(◔‿◔) Not that I mind though.

    And yeah, you hit some points right. I did grow up in a conservative environment, but it’s not like PDA is completely forbidden here. It’s more like people can show affection publicly, just not in a way that’s super intense or makes other people uncomfortable. Light affection is fine, but anything beyond that gets side-eyed.

    As for the whole ‘you’re too young’ thing... that’s not something my parents drilled into me. It’s more of my own mindset. I just personally feel like I’m still too young for romance or sexual stuff, even though I’m technically an adult already. I think it’s also because I’m really focused on my studies right now. I want to finish school, get a stable job, and settle my life first before even thinking about relationships. So for me, romance still feels… early. Like something I’m supposed to think about later, not now.

    Oof same . I've seen plenty and even caught two of my classmates making out near my seat (it's far from the windows where people can see from the outside unless they come close). Same situation with mc, I forgot my beloved eraser on my desk, so when I went back to our classroom, I saw those two kissing. Back in my high school, I was still too innocent to know 'these' kind of stuff and too busy with my academics. And even if I did have some knowledge about sexual stuff, they were just about their sciences, nothing malicious (my school was a t*rture house for young minds; it's a college disguised as a high school). So catching my classmates red-handed was really life-changing.

    (And, they're both boys btw)

    As a college student myself I always wondered how they have time to do all the fucking when I can't even catch a break
