quarterlife crisis
People in their mid-to-late
20's (sometimes early
30's) that cannot grasp the idea they are growing up...still hang out with high school people, go to bars/clubs, miss high school and their time there, try to 're-live' their
glory days of high school/college. Feel insecure regarding the future &
cling to the past as much as possible. Other characteristics:- Have trouble finding jobs that are 'good enough' for them- Relationship problems/lots of instability- Financial problems/spending issues/debt -- Feeling everyone is doing better than they are- Refusal to stop partying - Believe the single-party lifestyle is for them even though it puts them into debt & makes them look desperate(males - behave like someone from the show 'Entourage', women like younger versions of 'Sex and the City')- Secretly envious of those who have
settled down, have families/children, careers and friendships made
after high school graduation. State 'I'm still in my prime' but knowing deep down they are
fading fast into the background
