Oh well, every single one of us blame it on this "Quarter-life crisis" when we are lost with some silly thought.
Have you ever googled about what it really means?
I have it ready for you!
Wiki says,"Common symptoms of a quarter life crisis are often feelings of being "lost, scared, lonely or confused" about what steps to take in order to transition properly into adulthood. Studies have shown that unemployment and choosing a career path is a major cause for young persons to undergo stress or anxiety. Early stages of one living on their own for the first time and learning to cope without parental help can also induce feelings of isolation and loneliness. Re-evaluation of one's close personal relationships can also be a factor, with sufferers feeling they have outgrown their partner or believing others may be more suitable for them."
Read the above paragraph again! I am sure this sums up all the issues in our life. Right?
Let's go through it one by one.
1. Feelings of being lost,scared,lonely or confused.
Yes, everybody feels this. You are not the odd one out. EVERYBODY does!! And why do we feel lost? Just because we haven't achieved what our peers have? Just because you are still single and your friends are raising babies? Just because you feel like you are going nowhere?
Wait.
Stop Sulking.
Why are you even bothered about the rat race?
You got to be living your life happily on your track. Do not compare to make you feel worse. Take a moment to realise how blessed you are to have a roof above your head, a healthy meal everyday and a job to pay your bills.
Ain't there enough reasons to be happy? Be thankful for what you have and then think about what could be better. That's how you train your mind to be better at everything you do.

2. Unemployment and choosing a career path is a major cause for young persons to undergo stress or anxiety.
I totally agree. Majority of the crowd is unhappy with the career choices they make.
Did you notice "young" in the problem statement?
Yes, you are still young to think on what you would want to do and what would make you love your job.
Remember the days when your Dad put you up for a Cricket camp and you turned out to be the best Goalie of your school? YOU knew where you wanted to be. The same idea applies when you are a grown up as well. Think where you would be better and go for it. Remember, it's never too late!

Be that Business you were thinking of, or the Yoga Instructor you wanted to be. Give it a try. You would never regret it.
Dream. Desire. Dedication. That's all that it takes.
3. Early stages of one living on their own for the first time and learning to cope without parental help can also induce feelings of isolation and loneliness.
What if your life is all about fast food now? Enjoy the family you find in your roommates. This is the perfect time you get to learn how to trust someone you barely know.
Look at the brighter side. You get to sit til 3 AM without your mom knocking at the door.
All the major life lessons are learnt at this phase.
You make friends, for life. Your roomie might be an expert at breaking eggs or mixing drinks. Learn the skills. Share your knowledge of hacking if your roomie is interested in learning. After all, you learn more when you share your knowledge.
Embrace this phase of life for once you make a family, you are gonna miss this phase for sure.
4. Re-evaluation of one's close personal relationships can also be a factor, with sufferers feeling they have outgrown their partner or believing others may be more suitable for them.
Believing others may be more suitable? The grass is always green on the other side. Duh!
Once you have made up your mind to get committed to your partner, think no more. But if your partner really is an a**, you better get rid of him/her for your own good.
It is always easy to break someone's trust but takes forever to build it back. So, value the trust your partner has in you and give all the more reasons to your partner to have trust in you forever.
Never let down.
So, the next time you wonder you are stuck in "Quarter-life crisis", you know how to get over it!
Welcome to the reality!
Cheers!
