I always feel really inferior to people who lost their virginity

Their partnerships don't mean anything. Normies just do that for attention.

You choose to hold yourself to the arbitrary standards you beat yourself up with. You choose to view yourself as inferior.

Are teenage single mums "superior" to you?

Are prostitutes who had sex as early as 13 "superior" to you?

Sex and relationships don't = superior.

Yes, I always get a pang of jealousy when I encounter them

>Are prostitutes who had sex as early as 13 "superior" to you?

Still feel an incredible amount of envy and self hatred when I hear stories like that

This is a thought pattern you need to keep recognizing and nipping in the bud. No one else can do that for you. Having said that your feelings are kind of familiar for me and here's what helped me the most;

>realize that you lose out when you allow yourself to become bitter
You probably don't want to be(come) the kind of person who sees young love or a happy pregnant woman and draws a sour, self-pitying conclusion about what that means for YOU. It's completely understandable and human to not always want to be confronted with other people's (perceived) happiness. But you have to keep fighting it and not allow yourself to become a miserable cunt; becoming so will make you less attractive, less happy, less fun to be around, you name it. Everyone goes through shitty stuff in life and it is your job not to allow that to ruin your character and ability for kindness, empathy and happiness.

Secondly, as the first post said in a rather cynical and simplified manner, just because other people are dating and having sex does not mean that they are all having exactly what you crave. I have had one brief relationship and was never intimate with anyone else, by far most of my friends are more experienced. Yet when I hear them talk about their sexual and dating experiences, I don't feel like they're at level 10 and I'm at 2 or whatever, it is much more complicated. I've found some experiences in this one fling that some of my friends did not encounter in several relationships. I have learned things (about my sexuality etc) from being single that they are not in tune with themselves.
And in the same vein, just because you are later doesn't mean you will forever be lagging behind or whatever bullshit.

Those child prositutes are rape victims. It's like being jealous of the kid who got molested by his creepy uncle. You seriously think they have it better than you?

Why do you feel that way? I lost my virginity at 20 also since I was a fat, socially awkward teenager in high school. Then at age 23 I felt like I was "missing out" since friends and co-workers bragged about their sex life.

I went on dating sites to find people for casual encounters for a year. At the time I felt somewhat confident and accomplished with my sex life, but today I see it was just a waste of time and wished I didn't let other people's sex experience get to me.
