Huh? How about this. It's your post, why do you think YOU are having a midlife crisis? What's YOUR reasoning, please explain and then we will all vote if YOU are normal or not.
See, the site works pretty well if you follow the concept of it.

I think it's pretty normal. I've gone through bouts of it over the past few years or so and I'm 24. Basically, I compared what all I haven't done to what most of my peers have already at my age, but I realized that there is no time limit for certain things and that everyone has their own journey and does things at their own time. :)

I’m 19, about to turn 20, and I’m hating it. When I moved out for the first time I almost had mental breakdowns, just because I realized things would never be the same If I lived at my moms again, or just how things were before in general. I felt like as a younger teen I could do and get away with a lot more stupid shit. It’s not that I have a problem with growing up necessarily, it’s just that the older I get the more distant I get from being a careless idiot, which sucks! Who the hell wouldn’t be sad about that? I wouldn’t say it’s a “mid life” crisis though, you’re still really young so live it up while you can before you go through a real crisis.

A good way to solve a midlife crisis is to become a terrorist and turn it into a midlife crISIS.

Do you have kids? I've seen young people act that way when they have them.

This is a critical time in life. It is a time when you start to think about things like final expenses, what kind of legacy you will leave for your loved ones, burial arrangements.
But first you need to think about if you want to be on home hospice or what retirement community you would like to go to.
But even before that, you need to decide how much money bit will take for you to retire the way you would like.
But before that, how you will make a living, a career.
Before even that, what college you want to attend.
But right now, maybe think about getting laid and having a good alcohol drink, but make sure to designate a driver if going out.
My kid is older than you are. You are RIGHT in the prime of your life. mid-life crisis my ass.

No not really about the whole drinking or laid thing and I'm already in college. I just feel like my life is you know boring. I never really go out and have a fun time or anything and I always uptight about everything I do to the point where fun is no longer fun. Which is making me crave change. That's what I meant when I say mid life crisis the whole part of craving change in your life style.

Well, I will say when I was 21 I remember telling my mom, I have done this and that and this... I do not know what more I could possibly experience about life."
For some reason she started laughing and said, "Good Lawd honey you have only begun life..."I am more than twice the drinking age now. Mom was right. I guess my advice would be -
Have plenty of fun, take calculated risks, and do not be afraid to try new things. Afraid to do certain things? Look fear dead in the face and tell it where to go.Comment Hidden ( show )

Reverse chronological planning is intuitively obvious. Except the OP's pre-adolescent mind is helplessly overwhelmed. Almost like what is he going to do without his Mother if he leaves her basement. Oh noes!

Sounds more like a 1/5 life crisis, or perhaps a quarter life crisis at most. You can't be having a mid-life crisis unless you are planning on dropping dead at forty, kiddo. 🙄
