Adult Problems We Are Not Ready For

Adulthood is a phase in which we progressively begin to decline in a variety of ways as time passes, and while you may think you're preparing for adulthood, it has already begun.

The following are some grownup issues that I believe we are not prepared to deal with:

1. LACK OF FRIENDS

We will have to make some difficult decisions on our journey to adulthood, including the necessity of unfriending some people due to their detrimental impact on us, even if it will take time to recover. As a result, we'll have fewer pals as adults, which I'm sure we're not ready for.

You'll constantly wonder, "Where have all my buddies gone?" Meanwhile, they are all residing around us, but they are no longer our friends due to the circumstances we have found ourselves in.

Sometimes it's caused by a move to find a better career or a more conducive living situation, and you have no choice but to leave where you grew up because it's the only way to live a better quality of life, and you'll lose some friends along the way due to the distance.

The most typical is death; unfortunately, some friends may not live to see adulthood, and this is the normal way for friends to drift apart. Making friends as an adult is one thing, but maintaining them is quite another.

2. LACK OF PURPOSE

When we were younger, we had goals that we wanted to achieve, such as getting into college and passing tests and exams, but after all of that, we are left to our own devices to find meaning in our lives, which can be extremely difficult.

That is why most people lack purpose in adulthood, and the minority people who do have purpose do so because they have had one since childhood and have maintained it till adulthood. We gain more understanding in maturity only on rare occasions.

I have some companions who were good in sports as children and are now almost adults who have lost interest in sports because they have been left alone with no one to sponsor or encourage them because they believe that once you reach adulthood, you are capable of taking care of yourself and that is sufficient.

3. HEALTH ISSUES

You can't avoid health issues as you get older, though some people may be fortunate enough to avoid them. Let's start with weak bones and gums, which can lead to tooth loss, diabetes, hair loss, and sagging skin.

You'll begin to take things slowly because you no longer have that youthful vigor, and everything appears to be a source of stress to you. Every day also appears to be getting fairly close to your death date, and it grows scarier by the day. Meanwhile, as you try to deal with your health concerns, your parents' health deteriorates, and your children face a variety of challenges, making life increasingly difficult.

Adulthood is like looking sideways before Crossing and then getting hit my an aeroplane 😂😂
