I hope this just means I’m late to the party, not that it’s all downhill from here…

    Personally, I don’t know ANYONE who experienced the “peak of life satisfaction” at 23.

    Most people that age are still confused about what they want to do with their lives and sweating off some leftover hormones from the teen years. It’s more chaotic than satisfying, I think.

    Edit: also, having a child at 26 sounds like hell.

      I think that’s a problem with using the average age for everything. A bunch of people think their lives peaked in High School and a bunch of other people think it was in their late 20s/early 30s, which averages out to 23. But I suspect almost no one thinks the peak of their life was age 23. Median would be a more appropriate measure here.

      Funny how we see headlines for shit like this and then other headlines that are like “200% of all men age 30 and younger are single and suicidal.” Honestly it’s probably all bullshit just live your life

      IMO There are some people who are generally happy and some people who are miserable and the average ‘happiest’ age isn’t really that predictive. Positive and negative life events play a role, but time going by doesn’t just make you sadder or happier without something else going on.

    Assuming this data isn’t just bullshit, any idea what country it represents? It’s definitely not where I live.

    Hear me out, what if we just didn’t repost the 3rd party click bait spam at the bottom of news and other websites as memes?

      Don’t know where this came from. I didn’t make it so I must’ve seen it on Twitter, Tumblr or Discord.

      If it is actually just clickbait for some website/app that would make me feel better though

        Sorry wasn’t trying to drag you personally. Just see so many memes with some bait head line and then the bottom half is like “everyone loved that” or whatever.
