Characteristics of quarter-life crisis

- realizing that the pursuits of one's peers are useless
- confronting their own mortality.
- watching time slowly take its toll on their parents, only to realize they are next
- insecurity regarding the fact that their actions are meaningless
- insecurity concerning ability to love themselves, let alone another person
- insecurity regarding present accomplishments
- re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships.
- lack of friendships or romantic relationships, sexual frustration and involuntary celibacy
- disappointment with one's job
- nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
- tendency to hold stronger opinions
- boredom with social interactions
- loss of closeness to high school and college friends.
- financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipated high cost of living, etc.)
- loneliness, depression and suicidal tendencies.
- desire to have children
- a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than oneself
- frustration with social skills
