get through my quarter-life crisis

not because I am escaping but because if I keep on labeling myself as a person who is in quarter life crisis, Id probably end up sulking into the problem rather than focusing on the solution. So, I acknowledge that I am weak but that’s it. I am now going to move forward.

Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include[fr wikipedia]:

feeling “not good enough” because one can’t find a job that is at one’s academic/intellectual level

frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career

confusion of identity

insecurity regarding the near future

insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals

insecurity regarding present accomplishments

re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships

disappointment with one’s job

nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life

tendency to hold stronger opinions

boredom with social interactions

loss of closeness to high school and college friends

financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)

loneliness

desire to have children

a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you
