Why people under 35 are so unhappy?

1. Expectations to live up to.
2. Lack of disposable income.
3. Housing concerns i.e. affordability.
4. Career progress.
5. Pressure to look and act a certain way i.e. narcism is an increasing problem now with social media.
6. Love troubles.
 
Depend on your own drive and ambition. Do you want to be happy? Then find what makes you happy. Money isn't everything in life, possessions don't make you happy, they only let you cope with sadness. Get outside and go for a run, talk to people, volunteer, do something, but the decision is in your hands.

If social media makes you jealous of others, stay off it. If you can't find a lover, broaden your standards - there's a lot of great people being over looked, often because of their looks. If you hate your career, don't be afraid to make a switch to something less well paid, but more enjoyable.

Life is what you make of it. You choose to be happy or not.

4. Career progress.

I went into the military after schooling, best decision - and simultaneously the worst - that I could have made. I gained a stable income, learned valuable skills including foreign languages, always had a place to sleep and was forced to make some friends, you can't be a loner. I knew that when I left (if I did at all) that I'd have the skills, experience and work ethic to transition to a civilian career life.

But it was horrible too. I spent 12 years in the Norwegian Armed Forces, 10 of those in Afghanistan. I've seen things I can't forget, done things that have made me cry and question the worth of my own life, I learned to look at life without meaning. That what I did was just because I had to, not because it mattered to me.

Kids today have every opportunity to make themselves be something, sometimes they need to push themselves to be better. Motivation is today's biggest problem, not expectations or love or careers. If you want love, want a career, want possessions and income, you need to take charge of your life.

*I'm 30 for those who are wondering. Married to @SvenSvensonov 's sister. I'm ex-military and work for someone I'm not talking about. I have a house, two actually and don't give a single f**k about what anyone else, besides my wife and daughter, think of me. I'm active in other social media outlets though.

Nice. I agree with the motivation part . Needless to say that many kids expect much of it to be given to them on a plate.
By the way bro, I'll arrange for you to have the "professional" tag .
 
@RAMPAGE do you agree with this?
I was in no mood to read this article lekin zaher maar kai sirf is liay parh lia kiun kai aap ko reply nahi kar saka. My apologies, madam.

Yes, i somewhat agree but i am not sure that i am fit to comment on lucy's expectations and realities. For citizens of third world countries, it has never been easy and there have not been enough green meadows or American dream's to dream of. I was not brought up in an enviroment that encouraged vanity although i admit that i am a bit of an optimist.

Tag me in naswaristan when you're online and we will discuss a less dry subject.
