Ha! Jokes on you. I speedran that shit by having my 3rd PTSD in my 30s… that’s one for my 10s, one for my 20s, and one for my 30s…
I hate this world, there is no god and I’d like to get off this planet please.
You’re not alone, just remember that. Shit is rough right now but exhaust your resources before exhausting yourself.
I legitimately hated Witcher 3 as a game hears guns being cocked over her hot take Witcher 2 was better, and even I didn’t think that was anything special… dunno if that helps or if it made it worse… anyway
But The Witcher was peak Television… until it wasn’t and Henry Cavil just kinda gave up and left over it.
54 kinda sucks.
Can confirm
44, must have peaked early.
48, can confirm.
It got better, that time was peak responsibility.
Then what? Continue peaking, or does happiness return?
I haven’t read this study, but I’ve heard most people tend to be their happiest after their kids move out, and near retirement. You have more time to do the things you want, have more ‘extra’ cash than before, and are still in decent health. Obviously this is on average and varies by person.
People have kids that can move out? And they have money for retirement? I’m guessing this isn’t in America…?
My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.
I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.
Good news! America is about to rejoin the rest of the world in having multigenerational households, because we can’t afford to all have our own places for much longer. This has been coming for a while. If you have a home large enough to support that, this is probably a good thing. In fact if that becomes the norm (again) it would probably support future development of the country in good ways, having a higher population within a given area and having a significant percentage of that population be both children and grandparents incentivises walkable communities with accessible shops. It could go a long way towards decreasing car dependence.
But that’s all long term. In the meantime we’re all broke as hell so get ready to possibly live in the same house with your grandkids too.
Yes most people have this experience… Which is why I said on average.
Maybe don’t have kids in the first place if they make you unhappy.
Besides, if the kid had a say in it I doubt they would consent if they knew what kinda future they were heading into.
I’m ahead of the curve then. I’ve been peak miserable since 16.
Only thing I outperform my age bracket in
You’re telling me I have 22 years to get WORSE???
Lol. All you yung’ns who think you’ve hit peak miserableness.
You sweet, summer children. It gets worse.
Some people call the forties middle age when the truth is most hit middle age in their thirties.
Fuck that. Starting tomorrow, I’m drinking even more. I don’t wanna live to my 40s if it’s gonna get even worse. Got almost 3 years to completely destroy myself and I’m sure as hell gonna try.
Seems like a very good crossover of having teenagers as a parent, senior responsibilities at work, and the realization that you ARE getting old, and you can’t even hold your liquor the way you used to drown it all out (not that you should manage your anxiety with alcohol anyway).
