Why Everyone Feels Lost In Their 20s

Why Everyone Feels Lost In Their 20s

Feeling lost in your 20s? Struggling with a quarter life crisis and just feeling lost in life in general? You're not broken — science calls this emerging adulthood, and here's why it hits so hard

If you're feeling lost in college, feeling lost in your career, or somewhere deep in a full-blown quarter life crisis, this video breaks down exactly why your 20s feel this heavy- and what psychologists say is actually happening to you (spoiler: it's not just you). We get into the 5 traits of emerging adulthood, the real early adulthood challenges nobody warns you about, why adulting feels harder now than it did for your parents' generation, and 3 research-backed ways to actually move forward instead of just doom-scrolling LinkedIn at 2am.

If you've ever typed "why do I feel lost in life" into Google at 1am — this one's for you.
