@dubh @LukeAlmighty @critical @kaia it ought not to be called a midlife crisis if it's nowhere near midlife eh. an existential crisis can be at eight if you're precocious. i had my first momento mori moment when i was like four. was at an exhibit on human aging, looked in a mirror and saw i was so young for the first time. and that I would get old and die. it was horrifying.

@LukeAlmighty @critical @kaia ughhhh in the first sentence i was disagreeing with you. but look, it's semantics right. are we being prescriptivist or descriptivist? if a midlife crisis is a crisis at midlife, it happens at midlife. if it is a "what am i doing with my life i need to change i've exhausted time already" it can happen at whatever age you feel you've made a mistake, that your life has taken the wrong path. is it merely an existential crisis around mortality? can happen as soon as one can reckon such a thing.
