Don't worry about missing out on anything because if you think about it enough you'll realise that you're missing out on millions of things every day - how much time should we spend worrying about what we're not doing, getting or have right now? Unless your life depends on you looking young your age is largely irrelevant once you enter adulthood. You will feel young forever. I've spoken to 80 year olds who told me they still feel young in their mind. I'm 52 and I still do things that I liked doing when I was a younger idiot. Now I'm an older idiot - same same. I can count my real friends on one middle finger and besides, friends are over rated, acquaintances will treat you better and if they don't, just count them on the same middle finger.
As for your trust issues, you know what they say "trust everyone but always brand your cattle". Be nice to people, be kind and polite and helpful. If they do bad by you it's on them. I used to work with an old Italian man. In his broken English he once told me "Bill, you want to know how to tell a good guy from an arsehole?" Of course I said yes because that would be a very handy skill. He said "You can't" (at least that's what I think he said)..."the arsehole will show themselves soon or later".*
My advice is to ignore the #yolo tag because life is really really long. Worrying about these sorts of things is a waste of your day and in the end; today is the only thing you really have - do you really want to spend most of your hours worrying about things that aren't worth worrying about? No. Enjoy each day as much as you can and as long as you're making progress on the things you want to make progress on that's the only thing you can really do. If you have no direction just try to do something exciting, satisfying or fascinating each day and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
* Yes, we who speak the Queen's English say arse not a$$. Same thing.
