- ordu 9y agoI meant that psychologists distinguish one more crisis, which caused by a dissonance between great plans for a life of ~20 years old person and his/her real results at ~30. At this crisis people tends to make radical changes in their life and this crisis may look like existential, but it isn't. It has its own name, but I can't find it (I can literally translate from Russian and get "achievement crisis", but I cannot find it in Wikipedia, and too lazy to search other sources). So achievements are any objectives, which are significant for the person. The problem with this crisis is a relativity of the "lack of achievements". Life can be pretty good, but nevertheless worse than expected ten years ago. To be successful in my own eyes I need to accept my real performance in the real world, to rewrite my plans accordingly, and it can be a painful experience.
