People who had a quarter-life crisis in their 20's, did you do right to stress? - eviltoast

Without going into too much detail…

  • 21
  • Dropped out of Uni (ie. I’ve started falling behind ‘the pack’)
  • Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
  • Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
  • Not fully settled on a specific career
  • Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.

I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.


Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring

    Yeah the best thing I can say is play as much as you work but also be kind to your future self. Do things today to make your life better in the future. That can be anything from washing the dishes to starting a retirement account. I say start a retirement account because compound interest and decades until you retire is a powerful combination and no matter what you do, more money can usually help.
