Fears of living a short life (small vent)

Hello, I’m 18m, born 2007. I have a double protein mutation, so I don’t have access to ivacaftor. And many other advanced modulators. My parents and doctors from a young age have told me that that I will live to see 60. Now that I’m older, and doing more research on my disease. Most sites are saying mid 30s. I don’t talk to my family about mental headspace and my fears of a short life as my parents (whenever I tell them about my sudden drop of lung function. And my worry’s about the future) tell me to stop whining, and worrying for my future like a bitch. My dad has been a plumber for well over 30 years now. And had a really tough childhood. My parents do everything health wise when it comes for getting me treatments. But don’t like talking about my personal worry’s. I don’t like to vent, but I guess here’s my little piss bottle of a whine.

Dating with a baby face is painful. What’s your guys experience?

Hi, I’m 18m. I’m a senior in high school but I have always had a pretty big time baby face. I have been asked out by freshmen girls an uncomfortable amount of times (14-16). Every girl I have ever talked to has had a hard time believing I was not 16. It really sucks because when I meet people my age who I’m interested in. They say I look to young. It’s really killing my self confidence. Over 7 girls in my life, who are not family related, have told me im 4-5 years younger than what I actually am.
