When I see how some people live their lives I can understand why a midlife crisis is a thing but I really don't see it happening as often now. The type of people I'm talking about spend their twenties talking about all these things they want in life while not having a plan to achieve them and actually doing things to hinder achievement most of the time. The other common scenario is someone having a mental health issue that they just assume is who they are and try to live with until years of " living with it' coupled with one bad situation come to a head.

I guess in general that would be summed up as people who don't really take control of their life.
