Unsurprisingly, a LinkedIn survey of 2,000 millennials shared by Moneyish found that 72% of young professionals ages 25 to 33 said they’ve been through a quarter-life crisis, or a period of self doubt and insecurity causing them to question their life choices, relationships and career paths.

The main factors people grappled with were finding a job they’re passionate about (57%) and the pressure to buy property (57%). Both priorities were much higher than finding love (46%), which is much easier today thanks to the advent of online dating. Women (61%) in particular are more likely to be unsure of what their next career move is compared to 56% of men.

Millennials tend to face excessive uncertainty in their career trajectory, question their life choices and have a difficult time staying present in the moment mainly because they don’t have a lot of real-life experience, Dr. Gail Saltz, a psychiatrist and the author of The Power of Different: The Link Between Disorder and Genius, told Moneyish.

The survey also found that 31% of people felt they had wasted years in the wrong job while 34% had relocated to another part of the country or abroad and 35% reportedly changed their career entirely.

One reason why millennials feel stressed is because they have unreasonably high expectations (i.e. they expect to have a similar standard of living to their parents, or even a better one).

To help curb feelings of anxiety, Saltz recommends that millennials practice gratitude, learn to lower their expectations and recognize that success isn’t instant and that building a respectable and solid career takes work.

Or, of course, they could also consider getting a sugar daddy.

Time to go out and scalp and rob a few BoomFucks to get that rosy mood back online.

GenX: Told age is just a number
Millennials: Told all of life's problems are the old people's fault.

It's going to suck for someone to get old.
My Generation calls 60 the new 40.
30 will be the new 60 for most Millennials.

That seems to be their narrative. Apparently they don't have any mirrors in their houses.

I'm so sorry Snowflakes!
STFU! If you are too flaky to vote & change things.
Ignorance & tender sensibilities aren't virtues.
It's on you now,assholes.
Make sure you vote R & D just like the brainwashed Boomers.

"Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation, "

"And Generation X (ages 35-50 in 2015) is projected to pass the Boomers in population by 2028."
