They were so fun! So social and stuff. So much in life felt so much easier than now.
The main reason I can think of is that teenagers are so fun and sociable (on average) compared to adults IMO. So everything just flowed.
Plus you feel like you belong because you're part of a family, school / sixth form, etc. You never just drift.
I remember saying to my best mate when I turned 21 that I felt like my life was over.
I guess it makes sense. No direction anymore, I was away at uni so my friends network wasn't there anymore, everyone moving away, everyone changing, etc. Can't live with family. The whole infrastructure of your life falls apart and best case scenario you build something that's totally different because the lifestyle is totally different.
As an adult you don't have that built-in sense of community, belonging, support, etc. It's like you have to work 5x as hard to get a fraction of the amount in return.
