    Im in that stage now, I'm also feeling it harder to make friends now than before, but I also feel like a more boring person, and other people my age feel boring as well. But of course younger people feel more immature. But it hit me that socializing feels more boring now because everyone has given up at this age. Like we used to dream, now we all got fulltime jobs, a lot of us have been with longterm partners or have even married and had kids, people are starting to settle down and I just find it depressing. The comments about the symptoms of capitalism are all true, but I feel like some of it is just culture and aging. Like we reach a certain age and we're supposed to give up and be boring. But idk, maybe it is all capitalism. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now if I had other options.
