Is it unusual to have a mid life crisis at 24?

[Bill!]

Does anyone else ever question their purpose? Feel they need to do something fulfilling with their life? Make a difference to the world?

[Scottie]

Yes, because that means you're gonna die at 48.

[Bill!]

Yes, because that means you're gonna die at 48.

That would blow goats. I'm hoping its just because I'm so mature....

:moon:

[Olivier E.]

:dunno:

At 24? Fuck, have sex make a kid and you already made a difference in the world, or join the army, they need you like fuck

[Bill!]

Well, the gf doesn't want to have kids for several years yet. I suppose when I put some murderer in jail for life, that'll make some people happy.

[The Human Target]

Yeah, but then I just get drunk and sit in the dark. Success and accomplishment are for bitches.

[Mike Haseloff]

Is it unusual to have a mid life crisis at 24?No, but you might want to think about taking out some life insurance. :? :shock:

[Need_A_Kiss]

i thought it was called the mid mid-life crisis?

[Olivier E.]

i thought it was called the mid mid-life crisis?

:no:


The pre-teen life crisis.

[Need_A_Kiss]

but i thought he was 24?

[Olivier E.]

but i thought he was 24?

If at 24 you think that you still can change the world without joining the army, you're pre-mature :moon:

Sounds as if someone has seen a few too many Go Army commercials.

[Olivier E.]

Our soldiers won't fight so we need you.




Buy a puppy.

[innocentboy]

t'is called a quarterlife crisis

[innocentboy]

and yeah, there's a name for it so that means that enough people have it for there to be a name for it.

whether that makes it normal, or makes it a major problem, is up to how you look at it though.

[DrMachine]

in my opinion...any kind of "life crisis" that you are bringing on yourself is probably a narcissistic-bullshit excuse for something you haven't done or have failed to do by this time in life

[mitchymitchymitchy]

Haven't you heard of the quarter life crisis?
We all go through it. here's the symptoms
The Quarter-Life Crisis
by unknown

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

[Wagon]

you are officially taking life too seriously right now. go have a drink, you'll feel better.

wow

I just made up my response and I was right on the money

[Angel of Distraction]

No, but I did make toast with a microwave today. Sort of.

[TyPierce]

As dumb as it may sound, the quarter-life thing really messes with a lot of people. I think it's because the whole "real adult life" thing has started to set in, you start to look around and go "Shit. I've got to get things together or I'm going to be nowhere."

I never thought it was all that big a deal until most of my friends admitted to going through something similar. It's a really weird, nebulous sort of thing that kind of hits you in unexpected ways.

You just have to let go, figure out what you want to do with your life and go there.

[alexlannin]

I think it's fairly normal to really wonder what direction your life's going to take in your twenties.
