The Lost Peace of Being Young

UzairShahAugust 29, 2026other

LI don't know. I just feel like today's 20-year-olds are more stressed out, more lonely, and more, I mean, irritated or busy than the 20-year-olds of the 1980s or '70s. I don't know why that is. I feel like, bro, there is no peace in it. It's just always some stress: career stress, family relationships, and everything. They're just stressed out, and I just don't get why.

When I see my father, or when he tells me about his youth, wow, he was chilling. And I feel like he was living the life. He was doing what he wanted to do at that time. And when I see myself, I'm 23 years old, and I'm just stressed out, fucking all the time. I mean, I have career stress. I don't have a good relationship with my loved ones, man. I don't know. I just have so much stress, and I feel the same about my friends too. They have, like, the same feelings that I have, which I have observed. And I just don't get it. Why?

What have you guys observed about this topic?
