Agree Billy.
The problem is that as parents & people with responsibilities an “Existential Crisis” is a luxury and is frankly often selfish and indulgent. It is a passive means of avoiding the real problems.
I mean hell. When my first husband’s business fell apart I would have loved to indulge in an existential crisis myself. Problem is I was pregnant & about to give birth and faced with a husband who fell flat on his face in the financial responsibility department and I was too concerned with survival literally and financially to be sitting around daydreaming.
I was too busy doing. Too busy solving the real crisis at hand. You don’t see people who struggle to survive day to day for example in developing countries or war torn countries having existential crises either. They are too concerned with actual survival.
This maybe is a millennial thing…but it’s certainly a first world thing.
