After interviews with dozens of young adults, we found that many aren’t pessimistic, but many have difficulty dealing with uncertainty in their life. As a result they are less optimistic about their future.
For young people and all people,
- Their future success
- Their relationships/friendships
- Their mental health
- Their self-esteem
Are the most important to their growth, but are often the most volatile. Given the pace and culture that most young adults exist in, it can be difficult for them to find space to reflect and look meaningfully into themselves, which tends to only make matters worse.
