The number of miserable people
I thought I had things bad. However, lately I've added a few people on social networks here and there and some of the comments I've read make it appear that quite a few people in their 20s and 30s are not getting on in life. I know this is nothing new but until now most of it had been kept swept under the carpet so to speak.
It especially hit home with a woman in her thirties I knew from night school. She had a boyfriend, a kid and things kind of looked ok. But this year it appears she's broken up and kind of sounds desperate to earn a living (nope, she is neither ugly nor stupid).
What have you noticed on your side? Do you think this is limited to a small percentage of the population or it's more widespread? Also, how come this is happening when part of the population is going into retirement? Shouldn't there be more jobs because of this? It's kind of nuts to see human resources continue to point their nose up at people in this post-crisis context. Haven't they got anything better to do than act like elitist twats?
