Midlife crisis

I am in my twenties. Is that a normal age for having a midlife crisis? I feel like i ve seen enough in this world and i feel very old. I feel more comfortable with the elders than the young people. Anyone has ever had a midlife crisis?

I've felt more comfortable with elders than people of my own age since the day I was born. That, for me, has nothing to do with a mid-life crisis. But rather, having intelligent, stimulating conversation without all the peer-pressure that often gets in the way.

But I will say that if it's "normal" for people in your family to live only into their forties, then it's perfectly normal for you to have a mid-life crisis in your twenties.

LOL No it makes you go out and buy a really expensive toy that has no practical purpose.

I wonder how connected mid-life crisis' are to unmet childhood needs. So much of our adult lives are about recovering from our childhoods. When our childhood needs were not met, we try to meet those needs as an adult. An example is that as a teenager we needed to be accepted but instead we may have been rejected, neglected or ignored. We coveted the acceptance the popular kids in school seemed to have and thus we coveted the "things" they had which seemed to us to cause them to be accepted. Once we become adults and enter into our crisis, we buy those things (aka needs) we never had when we were children.

The answer seems to find wholeness in a relationship with Christ. Easier said than done. It is a process. As we grow in our trust and comfort with Christ we see less need for material possessions to fill us emotionally.

Forgive me for this wild shot, but just to make sure it is ruled out, you might want to take a depression screening test. You can get one in the internet.

Gerry .... He has already admitted to having these issues. Let's not beat him over the head with it.

May we be one so that the world may be won.

Oh, I forgot. Well then, if he is depressed, perhaps he should seek help.
