It’s incredibly hard not to be a life-stage cliche on general topics
I’ll see some 33 year old say something that sounds eerily similar to something I think I’ve said and whaddya know I look back and I said something uncannily similar when I was 33

Very successful people tend to be very derpy because they stall out at their peak success age
Mediocre people work through the life-stage appropriate cliches of all ages
I stopped fighting this at 45, which is the cliche age to stop fighting being a cliche

I’m only 46, but did you read Jonathan Rauch’s book article about the tendency towards 40s depression and automatic happy 50s that had parallels in great apes? Helpful for decoding and accepting the cliches.
