Descript

Hello friends, welcome to The Deranged World. This domain is primarily a personal introspection of thoughts, feelings and activities. Some of them are funny, some slightly emotional, some exceedingly intellectual, and others completely nonsensical in nature. But nevertheless, they all reflect a truthful element of myself then. In addition, you may check out the Project RN series located at 'Interchange'. Do leave a comment as an when you wish, I'll be more than glad to reply them.

This is not mid life crisis, this is quarter life crisis......

Answers in red

Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:[citation needed]
  • realizing that the pursuits of one's peers are useless "Vanity!" Indeed- for most, most of the time... but I try not to harp on it- people also have their reasons, and I respect humans.
  • confronting their own mortality   Yes- its not about dying.... but more like ceasing to exist, and truthfully that notion is very freaky.
  • watching time slowly take its toll on their parents, only to realize they are next The inevitability of the day after tomorrow...
  • insecurity regarding the fact that their actions are meaningless Used to- no longer after campaign RN
  • insecurity concerning ability to love themselves, let alone another person Please don't get me started on loving myself...... this part should be okay for me.
  • insecurity regarding present accomplishments  Used to, but I know my potential now, and I guess I can say I am at ease with myself.
  • re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships  Indeed- precisely the point I am trying to level-up all existing relationships to go beyond hi-bye superficiality, but the power to change does not lie solely on me.
  • lack of friendships or romantic relationships, sexual frustration, and involuntary celibacy No love...... but that is only applied to the One...
  • disappointment with one's job Well, now I know what is meaningful before finding a job, I guess I won't end up being dissapointed with my job.
  • nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life  At times.... halcyon still prevails, but I am equally optimistic about the future okay?
  • tendency to hold stronger opinions HOHOHO..... don't ever ask me about my ideology.
  • boredom with social interactions I am sick of mere politics and ethics...... and it seems the world is firmly grounded on them.
  • loss of closeness to high school and college friends Yes, I have lost people, but it doesnt affect me- as long as I am true to still-surviving relationships, I won't worry about losing people anymore.
  • financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.) Precisely why my ideal job of doing socially productive stuff comes with an IRON RICE BOWL.
  • loneliness, depression and suicide Being alone is a virtue too okay? There is no need to be depressed over it.....
  • desire to have children  =D      teacher says it all
  • a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you  academically, but the higher notion that we are all just talented in different ways really makes it up..... btw nobody writes 100000 words on life like I do anyway.... LOL
  • frustration with social skills  A bit.... still cannot moderate between personal ideals and people
These unsettling emotions and insecurities are not uncommon at this age, nor at any age in adult life. In the context of the quarter-life crisis, however, they occur shortly after a young person – usually an educated professional, in this context – enters the "real world".[1] After entering adult life and coming to terms with its responsibilities, some individuals find themselves experiencing career stagnation or extreme insecurity. The individual often realizes the real world is tougher, more competitive and less forgiving than they imagined. Furthermore, the qualifications they have spent so much time and money earning are not likely to prepare them for this disillusionment.   

Believe me, the real world that most of us think we are entering is actually no more than a facade. Its not exactly fake- but its more like the virtues and values that we will hear are mere conclusion declarations.... making life exactly like the final output of movies after ten times of rehersals. Of course it sounds complex and difficult and incomprehensible.... probably because all the reasoning in between are falsifiable, subjective or meaningless garbles. Go beyond these issues of money, status, and achievements- and see reality as it truly is. Be prepared to get freaked out even more, but don't delay- it'll eventually come in mid-life crisis anyway
