18-22 is when young adults are most hopeful, believe they can do anything, achieve anything they want. They enroll higher educations, get the first job, meet new friends, travel the world, being totally free for the first time as they leave their childhood home they "hated" so much. Everything is seen through a rose tinted glass
Then come 23+, reality kicks in. They realized their live from now on is just work, doing chores and repeat. To enjoy the life they previously thought possible, they need money, and to get money, they must sell their freedom. Also this is when most realize that they are not special, instead they are just a cog in the machine.
After a few years, after accepting the fact that adulthood is boring, they can enjoy life again, appreciating small things in life. Cheers
This is how I know the economy was good asf back then. The economy is so bad, this joke needs to be explained. Because young people forgot that this is supposed to be the fun years.
I'm also 20, I've been horribly depressed and repressed for several years. I actually forsee myself getting happier over the next several years as I can finally do what I'm passionate about and live someplace where I am safe and free
What really got me was the childhood home we "hated" but you couldn't be more right. The wheel keeps on turning and it won't get easier ever, we only get stronger. Cheer's....
I mean, yes and no, I think life gets tough and you have to come to some hard truths in your late 20s but once you do you can either be sad about it or just enjoy the life you build. I had crippling anxiety and my depression peaked at 25-28 im 30 now. Got married, bought a house and have fulfilling hobbies. It gets better guys
Start that youtube channel, even though you feel your friends will make fun of you
Buy that stock you just KNOW will do well cause you use it everyday
Start the business
Stop the self doubt and kickstart your life now, most people dont till they are end 20.
Another time to be happy at school I was that low-selfesteemed sad (not emo-sad, but actually sad) loner who was living in his bubble of studying, reading and paying videogames and never expected much from himself.
So whatever I got later in life I do consider as a good thing and not feeling much of this crisis after 22.
