A midlife crisis happens when people feel like they’re not where they thought they’d be in life, and it makes them want to change everything. Think of it like a kid who suddenly realizes their toy is broken, so they decide to get a new one. But instead of toys, adults might switch jobs or even get a new haircut.
Examples
- A person in their 50s suddenly quits their job to become a baker.
- An adult man gets a new haircut and buys a sports car just because he feels like it.
- A woman who has always been busy with work decides she wants to travel the world.
