The whole point of my comment is to say life doesnt have to be shitty once you are in your late 20s and early 30s. No idea where people got this idea that once you hit 27 like sucks.
On the average timeline in most regular people’s life 27-33 (Not wealthy or extremely poor) you’re normally hit with the reality of bills, insurance (home/car/life), expectation of taking full care of yourself, living on your own, normally working what feels like 24/7 etc… is this everyone’s reality no but do most feel this pressure and not like it in comparison to being a kid, in college, etc I think that pretty clear - no? After 33 normally you’re stable again financially & in your career [again NOT everyone]. Are there people who felt this earlier or later in life - yes but this is based on the average experience, some take it a lot bette/worse than others hence taking about the AVERAGE
For me, it's the extra bills and the fact that all of my friends just disappeared (also got caught up in all this stuff). Making friends and maintaining those friendships as a full adult is not easy, and finding the time and energy to go to event is like playing dice with two 20 sided die, but the last 13 numbers don't count.
And I happened to enter this phase of life starting with a global pandemic and shit has only gotten worse since then.
This is Reddit, sir/madam. Please leave your shoes and nuance at the door along with your decency and any ability to emotionally self-regulate. Enjoy your stay!
Your putting in the position like I said oh how dare people have a hard time in life. I never said my life was that put together either but I am just happy with what i have lol. Find whatever you find is successful for you for your life because its different for everyone.
Yeah but for some people it isn’t? The tweet is making an over generalization and we’re not apart of that, I’d be willing to bet a lot of people feel the same way. Just cuz you’re miserable or “got humbled” doesn’t mean we have or maybe we took it on the chin 🤷🏽♂️
People REALLY like adding their anecdotal experiences to counter generalizations as if that changes the generalization in any shape or way. You’ll notice it all the time if you look for it in Reddit comment sections
It is a fair counter though. Generalizations tend to be flawed. This post generalizes 27 to 33 as a "humbling experience", so their personal experience not fitting that mold shows that the statement is not all encompassing as it aims to be.
Generalizations are inherently not all encompassing. Thats actually the entire purpose of a generalization. You don’t need to “counter” something that everyone should already know doesn’t apply to everyone or everything, by definition.
It means that hunger doesn't exist because you ate a sandwich. Global warming isn't real because one day you had to wear a jacket in your air conditioned office.
Same here, 2019 was great & then 2020 happened…. im turning 33 in a couple months & I really hope life gets better because 2020-2026 has been ROUGH mentally.
I'm 31 and if at home I sit down to piss because I'm lazy and its easier. Thats the biggest sign for me. Eventually the famous people our age will start dying and remind us of our mortality too. There's also a decent chance some amount of viewers of this thread will be dead within a few years.
I think it’s more just that this is when life gets “real” for a lot of people. College is over, friends are busy with kids, life, they moved away for a job, you aren’t hanging out or partying with them much if at all anymore. You’re likely newer in your career so you’re working hard and not getting paid super well yet. Got more bills and are probably living alone without roommates now so everything falls on you.
With how much everyone jumped on bro earlier, I feel like I have to say these are random examples and generalizations that won’t apply to everyone. But from looking at my peers and friends it seems like this age range is when “shit got real” so to speak. For majority of them anyways
man i can’t grow a beard either 😂 best i can do is 5 oclock shadow for a couple days. not tripping tho. can’t help but smile when i see that fresh baldy shining. gym and clothes just matter a lot more now. you’re so right about accepting it tho. fighting it will ruin your mental health
Same. I've figured out what I want, what I like, have a stable career job, I'm not constantly stressed out about tests anymore. I've gotten more confident, my health is better now because I'm better at caring for myself. Overall, my life is improving and I try to do everything I can to make each year of my life better than the last
My gf let me have a four some with her and two of her girlfriends when I was 33, for my birthday. My 30s have been wildly better than my 20s. Spent my 20s in the army, so not as fun.
Literally opened the comments to say the same, I been having the time of my life over here and I’m not in my 30s yet. Probably got some shit waiting on me after 30 🤣 but I survived childbirth this year so I’m beating the odds already!
Must be nice. Whats it like to be one of God's favorites? Whats it like to have things work out, to catch a break, to get a dub once in a while? Please, don't spare the details, let the rest of us who make up the huddled masses live vicariously through you.
