15 - 30!

DreamingInPhosphorescence · 31/10/2023 01:23

16-22 mainly, though it still resurfaces now and then.

Topseyt123 · 31/10/2023 01:26

Never. I'm not overly sociable and have never given a shit about that sort of thing. I'm 57 and won't be starting now.

Fionaville · 31/10/2023 02:05

The same 16/17. It was the 90s though. I don't think that age group gets the same level of freedom these days.

MintJulia · 31/10/2023 02:10

25-40

18-25 I was struggling just to pay the rent & eat. No money for partying.
And 40 onwards had dcs. 😊

GarlicGrace · 31/10/2023 02:22

15 - 33
37 - 45

I'm paying for it now, mind 😂 Je ne regrette rien.

Mydogmybestfriend · 31/10/2023 02:22

27 to early 30s (where I am now) I was a teen mum so my golden years I was changing nappies

Neurodiversitydoctor · 31/10/2023 03:02

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 31/10/2023 04:08

14-17 then a phase again at 22-24

28 now and can't think of anything worse than living my life like that! Give me my bed, a book and a cup of tea😂

Goldmember · 31/10/2023 04:31

14-17. Lots of very bad behaviour and luckily never got caught and didn't end up with a criminal record.

At 18 we moved 150 miles away, I had the chance to reinvent myself. I met DH settled down shortly afterwards.

Bbq1 · 31/10/2023 04:40

Early twenties - 31

MaMisled · 31/10/2023 04:43

15 to 22 then again 36 to 40. My mother had hers aged 60 to 64!

LittleGlowingOblong · 31/10/2023 04:44

Never.
I feel short changed, actually.
Closest would be was when I was mid thirties, my mum dying of cancer, I was feeling bleak about being single and childless, low self worth and poor boundaries. I drank a lot of alcohol and had a 3-4 experiences that were unmemorable to awful.

26-31

Same!

Absolutely mental.

I’m now a health freak who gets tipsy after one drink 😂

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 31/10/2023 05:03

21-25
then 40-43 (so far, not planning on stopping!)

Dustpantsandbush · 31/10/2023 05:07

17-21

pooonastick · 31/10/2023 05:16
