I have a coworker who is 26. If anyone at all brings up being older (and most are), she bursts into tears about her "lost" years. She is a TikTok addict. This will not go well.
- jxramos 4y agowhat's the deal with her lost years? Were they like really tragic or something? I don't get it.
- redeeman 4y agowithout knowing the specifics, im gonna make a generic guess: she probably begins to realize that what she focused on during those years are not what she now realizes matters more. And she figures its probably not possible to perform a course correction at this point. I will no doubt be downvoted to oblivion for saying it, but this is becoming an increasingly big thing, in the next 10-20 years it will be an order of magnitude worse than now.

- mym1990 4y agoThe irony is that people who are looking at their lost years are not realizing that they are probably making the same mistake with their present. In 10 years they will look back and think those were lost as well.
