Comment on Midlife crisis

As someone who is currently at the start of “midlife crisis” age, I can tell you it’s not exactly like the stereotypes you see on TV. I can only speak from the male perspective on this, but it’s more about (for me anyway) coming to terms with the fact that everything new that comes out isn’t designed with you as it’s target audience anymore. One day you realize you can’t flirt with someone in their 20s anymore without feeling like a creep. You’ve slowly turned into your parents without ever trying to or even noticing that it’s happening.

In short a midlife crisis is just how how you deal with not seeming to be relevant anymore. You’ve done things a certain way for your whole life but suddenly the world has moved on to something else without telling you and now you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do anymore.

We don’t all buy sports cars and start dating strippers lol personally it’s just made me calm down a lot and choose what I say more carefully

It fucking sucks
