20多岁人生很迷茫?10大信号你遇到了青年危机
突然非常害怕失败。
You’re already a little far from college, where one can take new classes, switch majors, and try new things with relative impunity. Now you’re panicked that failing at one thing means you’ll continue failing and fuck up your life in some irretrievable way.
你已经毕业好几年,再也没有机会上新课、调专业或不付代价尝试新鲜事物了。现在,你害怕一步迈错,接下来会步步出错,人生就这么玩完了。
7. You’re bored with your friends
对朋友感到厌倦。
Going out clubbing seems less and less appealing, and you feel increasingly alienated from your college buddies and the activities you used to do back in school. You no longer feel shame about spending a night in by yourself; in fact, you might even start to prefer it.
去俱乐部越来越没意思,跟大学好友渐渐疏远,那些以前读书时喜欢参加的活动也懒得去。你不再害怕一个人打发晚上时光,甚至还很享受。
8. You constantly compare yourself to your friends who are your age…
不断拿自己跟同龄朋友作比较。
Everyone’s married already! AHHHH
啊!!!!!全都结婚了!
9. …or your parents when THEY were your age.
或想到了父母在你这个年纪时……
They had kids (you) already! They had a house! WTF.
他们已经有小孩了!他们还有自己的房子!!
10. You feel like your twenties aren’t turning out how you expected they would.
觉得自己的二十几岁完全不是期望的样子。
This might be the biggest sign of all that you’re starting to contemplate your quarter-life milestone: You can’t stop thinking about how this isn’t exactly where you pictured you’d be at 23, 25, or 30. Maybe you don’t have a significant other. Maybe you’re not exactly in your dream job. Sure, you were never a “white-picket fence” person, but you thought you’d at least have SOME of your shit together by now. Instead, you have papajohns.com bookmarked on your browser and a halfhearted OkCupid habit.
这一点可能最重要:你开始认真思考已经过去的1/4人生——你总忍不住问自己,为什么23、25或30岁根本就不是期待的样子?为什么还是单身、做着不情愿的工作?你还没挣到自己的房子,但你本以为这个年纪自己应该有这点能力的;现实中,你依然宅着叫外卖,另一半也还杳无踪影……
