I had an existential crisis at 33, and it is fucking annoying getting that response.
I know it’s not that old, but it’s the oldest I have ever been. The 30s was to me like a transition from teenager to adult. It is fucking rough, though it gets a lot better and definitely has perks.
In my experience the problem is not really all that age related at all, it’s just that you’re increasingly aware that you have to find your own meaning in life and that your choices now will directly affect everything that follows.
Age 25 I didn’t feel like anything really mattered, I had time to fuck up. Now it feels like I have ten years to find something I consider worthwhile or I’ll in all likelihood be permanently fucked.
Oh I feel you, turning 30 this year and feel like I am having a mid life crisis.
Do you also get the “oh don’t be silly, 30 isn’t that old!” attitude from people you confide those fears to? Super annoying.
