To find it astonishing and frustrating to see old friends finally grow up?

This has been bothering me for a while, but finally posted after an ex of mine appeared on "suggested friends" in facebook...
He's married!

All I remember is the immature guy in his early 20s (now we're early 30s) who would have been aghast at the concept of marriage in general, and just seemed so... young.

A lot of people I used to be friends with/am still loosely aquainted with keep popping up in general, and it's the same with them.

I'm actually finding it a bit upsetting and frustrating because their immaturity affected my life in various ways. I feel like "Couldn't you have grown up THEN? Before you adversely affected my life?" It's worse because they seeme to be aquiring the trappings of adulthood (professional jobs, houses, marriage, children) whilst I am not. This isn't something that hugely bothers me in general, but it seems so weird to feel (or feel I am viewed) on some level as younger/immature...

Not sure if this makes any sense..!

I’m totally with you OP!

I kee seeing everyone growing up and doing the done things, while I’m going backwards (by choice, to be fair) but it feels odd/unsettling!
