    IDK if it is actually that quiet but DEBT. Yes, we talk about economy and the stupid cost of living, the stupid rent prices and the fact that just a handful of people can purchase a house without selling their souls to the devil (or a bank).
    But I know for a fact that a lot of people live under debt. Even for the basic needs, we have to have debt to survive.

    Identity crisis due to fake identities portrayed through social media.

    Grief from losing a spouse. It’s so much worse than other deaths (except children) that I don’t think I can survive it.

    I think everyone sort of forgot that their lives are mediated, like the idea that we can live unmediated lives is DOA and I really think we would all do well to step back and at least imagine what we’d be like if we weren’t constantly acting in relationship to what we’ve heard on social media, tv, music and movies instead of simply picking a smattering of the identities it has to offer.

    I think a lot of suffering comes through that

    For people who value their creativity, it can be hard going through your younger years thinking you’ve not created enough or impressed enough people with your art, music, literature, etc. as the years go by.

    I know plenty of famous people got their start in their 30s+ years. But feeling behind can be discouraging and sometimes hurts the motivation to create altogether.

    All of the people you know getting into their late 30s and 40s are starting to worry about their parents aging more than themselves.

    I certainly feel anxious as a parent of a young child, born early in Covid, as to whether the world is going to be as accessible to him as it was for us and wonder what kind of future will he have. Cost of living, the incredible growth of AI, political landscape changing at an unimaginable rate just leads to mass uncertainty. As someone in their forties I feel like my life will be a breeze in comparison.

    Men and their ability to say “I AM FINE” even in their worst phase of life.

    Mental health, and the stigma that comes with it including therapy.

    The state of being in control but unaware that it’s the opposite.

    Ageing

    It happens to everyone but there are few people you can talk to about it.

    The amount of relatively young men that kill themselves without much or any warning and no note.
    It’s a silent pandemic that few care about it usually seems to affect men in their early 20s to early 40s the most. I guess the cause is not just 1 thing but probably many.

    Most families will lie about it but it’s awful when you talk to someone and a day later they are gone, sounded fine then dead the next day…..

    The economy is so much worse than anyone is willing to admit. I believe we’ve been in a Depression since the pandemic. I can’t even count the number of people I know who are actively sinking below the waves.

    Mum guilt.. it’s crippling, someone always seems to be doing more, spending more money, more time, constant doubt am I doing enough, am I enough.. I’m teetering on the edge on a breakdown trying to manage to be enough to everyone in my life

    As an American, the fact that the people in charge absolutely should not be in charge. Lots of uncertainty regarding our future as a nation and the feeling that there’s simply nothing we can do about it.

    For me, drug addiction. I know not everyone does it quietly, but I did for 7 years. It’s like I convinced myself that if no one in my life knew, I didn’t really have a problem and it wasn’t really happening.

    Rent and credit card debt loops. It seems like everyone around me has money for new stuff, but I know they don’t. They are balls deep in debt. If they weren’t they would have to go without.

    This is entire thread is so valid. There’s so much going on inside of us all.

    Complete financial instability. And many of them don’t know it themselves.

    Mental health problems are very common and still not as openly discussed as they should be.

    Being overworked and underpaid while finding ways to “glorify” hustle/grind culture to justify to ourselves why we even do it in the first place.

    I don’t know about most people, but many have infertility issues and miscarriages that they don’t talk about. It is often a deep pain that seems impossible to talk about, because when you open up about it, some people are downright cruel in their flippancy. It’s quite a deterrent to sharing any further.

    I think a lot of people are concerned about the stability of their employment. Even those who would be in traditionally stable industries.
