Yes - its not easy for our generation these days comparative to our parents. Buying a house back then was normal.. now most of us are renting or living with family. Thanks for sharing your musings. They are interesting to listen to. David, UK.
What you do here on your channel has helped so many, including myself, feel human. Hearing and seeing other's in the same or similar situations makes me feel less alone and isolated. Feeling dependant on others due to the course of actions my life has gone through (health and more) and the restrictions/limitations that come with it, makes me see myself as a failure and that I will be unable to progress in life at all, let alone, on my own. I want to thank you for sharing your experiences and encouraging others to do the same. You inspire me to try.
idk celine ,living with parents is kind of lit ,i live in a 3rd world country and i can definetly see that the west pushes an agenda of moving out of your parents house and being independant as soon as possible at a young age blah blah blah , i dont see nothing wrong with it :) especially since living spaces are so expensive nowadays
...They push it because we used to be able to afford it. Living with your parents at a young age is usually a sign of how a country is doing economically.
You cannot be your own person while the people who have controlled what you were for the past 18-24 years of your life still think they have a claim to you.
I'm 26, I'm from a more collectivistic country, I don't feel any shame about me still living with parents, but I also really don't like living with my parents, as I am very independent. I love living alone, living with others is hellish to me. The worst thing is that in a desperate chase to "keep the family together" and have as all living together my parents ruined both theirs and my lives. Unfortunately, I am both expected to stay with them as I don't have a husband and also can't afford to move out.
Glad you're back to posting content again. I've been in a similar situation recently tbh, recently turned 26 and although I'm pretty well off financially working as a software engineer I just feel like I'm not doing good enough because when my older brother was at my age he was earning a lot more then me and that just makes me feel a sense of shame for some reason. I think regardless of where you're at in life theres always going to be people who are doing 'better' so I'm trying to just accept it. Having said that, I'm not oblivious to the fact that I could be proactively improving my situation as well.
Welcome back. Glad to see you're alive and well. It's comforting to watch you process things so carefully throughout your journey. These and just some things I tell myself when I'm in the kind of funk you're in. Expectation is the enemy of content. Don't compare yourself to the person you think you should be, because that person doesn't exist. Don't think about what you should be able to do, do what you can actually achieve. Take the next best step, don't rob yourself of the little accomplishments. Don't wager your happiness against the randomness of the universe, loosing that bet is often crushing. Celebrate the things you have and the things that come and go. Any further ideas just comment below.
I just love this gal! Too bad she's not more popular on RUclips; she's really talented at philosophy. (She speaks perfect English, as well as Danish and Norwegian, so she's got the language side covered.) I learn a lot from watching her videos about life, being young, and what it's like in Scandinavia. I don't know what she's doing professionally, but it would be nice to see her become a philosophy professor or something like that.
I only found your channel last night (well 6am but was up as always) and was happy and surprised to see you had uploaded. I'm 23 and live with my parents, I just have accepted that Im not capable atm to live by myself but there was never any accepting process in the first place if that makes sense ahaha - im lucky that ive never felt embarrassed, I see so many fucked people that think they have it made. Im on several medications (and I hate that I am but ive also had to just suck it up and do it) anyway just thought id leave a comment and let you know I related to your videos, hi from Scotland
hi celine, i missed seeing your videos! i think the point you were making regarding the balance between career and social life is something personal where one must discover the right balance for themselves. i would assume only a minority of people would be satisfied with a life completely devoted to work. i suppose you have to weigh out the different financial and social factors and try to find a balance between them that is sustainable for oneself.
Hello! how are you? I liked your video. I understand you perfectly, I am also still living with my parents, I am 24 and the truth is I would like to be able to move but I'm not afraid because I don't know anything about that, I don't have any experience. And the truth is that at this moment I cannot move, I am studying in collage, I am an international student, I am legal in the USA and but I can't work because my visa does not allow me to work, and I don't have my driver's license yet. The truth is that this situation worries me a lot, it is frustrating sometimes. I don't know when or how long I'll be able to make my life on my own.
I found you on odysee. (you should upload more on odysee, pls) I'm only 20 but at 18 I was already thinking I should move out. Sooner or later I had to come to accept my lack of family for what it is, I ran away emotionally, combined with my deep hatred for living in Los Angeles and being a solitary person. Also, someone on odysee said (copy and pasted) - "the plan should be to find a husband and make babies doesn't matter where you live" - but that's kind of dumb, because the gender war imposed on our generation is also a struggle we share. As a male of gen z, we can all stop pushing agendas. my personal agenda is stop having kids :P
At 25 you can still learn a new profession which actually pays, unlike the philosophy. What were you thinking? By the age of 30 you could be earning a lot more. If not, you will continue justifying this when you are 35, or explaining away how you married the wrong guy to get yourself out of there. (My own daughter is a teenager).
You think she doesn't? She should work smarter not harder. We all do mistakes and she will bounce back. Let it all out girl express your frustration sometimes that's all we need to get us going.

as fellow weeb trash, yes
I’m 34 and I still live at home and I work and saving
And it's nothing wrong with that
That’s pretty pathetic to be honest
It’s called failure to launch
Thank you for this video. I’m in the same boat in my 30’s after a divorce wiped me out completely

Sounds like a Freudian nightmare to me
You cannot be your own person while the people who have controlled what you were for the past 18-24 years of your life still think they have a claim to you.
what country are u from?
Maybe the US is becoming a 3rd world country :(

I found your channel from the mirtazapine video. As I take mirtazapine for severe anxiety, depression and ptsd myself. Love your channel and content.
Mirtazapine dreams are super wild and hd blueray.. i quit it but sometimes i voyage to mirta world 2 week i a year. Munch and dreams 😊
I really like the way you think - your videos are so addicting to watch. It’s rare to find someone who thinks in such a matter-of-fact way. I love it.
Girl, living with your parents in the 2020s is hot and in! You have to pay a lot less and you all share a commune, yay!
This was really important.

Im gonna move back to my parents place in the next few years, when my early 30s start, because not paying rent is bloody amazing.

i had the strangest deja vu whilst watching this video
How to avoid living with your parents when you are 25 years old: DON'T MAJOR IN PHILOSOPHY.
and don‘t major in interior design. I am 25 and i have to start at complete 0
blessings!
No Shame In Your Plan! Love Is All You Need^^

Well what you say at 35....or 40...years old.
Hey at least you got a RUclips video out of it .
I found you on odysee. (you should upload more on odysee, pls) I'm only 20 but at 18 I was already thinking I should move out.

doesn't matter where you live" - but that's kind of dumb, because the gender war imposed on our generation is also a struggle we share. As a male of gen z, we can all stop pushing agendas. my personal agenda is stop having kids :P
Don't beat yourself about this. You are a victim of our time.
At 25 you can still learn a new profession which actually pays, unlike the philosophy. What were you thinking? By the age of 30 you could be earning a lot more. If not, you will continue justifying this when you are 35, or explaining away how you married the wrong guy to get yourself out of there. (My own daughter is a teenager).
The whole 🌎 ( lives with their parents) only Americans leave their old parents to die
All I hear is excuses. You should work harder
Facts
You think she doesn't? She should work smarter not harder. We all do mistakes and she will bounce back. Let it all out girl express your frustration sometimes that's all we need to get us going.
