Why do people often have a ‘mid-life crisis,’ and is it just a fancy way of saying they’ve hit a point where they finally realize they’ve been doing everything wrong?
In: Other
It’s often becoming aware of one’s own mortality and a sense that they haven’t lived their life as fully as they could have and feeling a need to make up for “lost” time.
It’s why people having midlife crises will often spend frivolously on luxury goods or recklessly engage in behaviors like adultery, drug use, dangerous activities etc.
They feel as though they don’t have much time left and so the consequences don’t feel as real or important.
