Children who were called 'the responsible one' often became adults who can't rest without guilt - not because they love productivity but because somewhere a five-year-old version of them still believes that if they stop holding everything together it will all fall apart - Silicon Canals

Freedom from responsibility can feel terrifying after a lifetime of being the responsible one.

I turned 37 and looked at my phone contacts and realized I had 247 numbers but couldn't name a single person I'd call if I got genuinely bad news - and that's when I understood that losing friends in your 30s isn't about distance, it's about finally admitting proximity was doing all the work - Silicon Canals

Friendships in adulthood often diminish in depth despite an abundance of acquaintances, highlighting the importance of meaningful connections over mere proximity.

I'm 27, don't own a house, have no kids, and am not married. My parents had all that by my age, so I don't feel like an adult.

I'm now older than they were when they had me. I'm turning 27 and, though I don't want children, it's sometimes difficult not to measure my life against theirs. They got married at 21. When I was 21, I was finishing my bachelor's degree in the middle of a pandemic. At 25, rather than having a child, I was moving in with my girlfriend, and we became cat parents.
