I had a quarter life crisis at 22. Probably the biggest existential lull I’ve experienced in my life. I learned a lot of survival tools then, mainly to not worry about what others think and to live my life by my own set of goals and ambitions. Once you stop worrying about what others think and expect you will find that you’re able to line up your personal priorities better.

Of course, this is all just for me and what I went through. Everyone’s crises are individual to them and there can definitely be more than one. I’d assume some folks actually can have 5 or 10 based on their emotional makeup, while others will never feel anything resembling “crisis.”
