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
When people grow up, they think they can do anything and be anything. Part of being young is feeling like you have all the time in the world.
“Mid-life crisis” is when that feeling goes away. It’s called a “crisis” because suddenly, people can start feeling like they can’t do all the things they wanted after all, and that their time is running out.
It doesn’t even matter if they “did everything right” – they still feel sad when they realize for real that it’s all going away one day.
Hey, you asked.
