My male friend is turning 25 this month and its giving him anxiety even thinking about it. Im also turning 25 this year and I know what it feels like to get a quarter life crisis once in a while but ive gotten over it with the help of some very unconventional methods that im 100% sure wouldnt work on a guy.
His male friends are all macho men who thinks sharing emotions would make them gay so he cannot go to them with this and hence turned to me. He thinks by 25 he is past his prime and that he needs to stop having fun and man up. He feels guilty about having the same interests as 22/23 year olds who are still in grad school. I could be wrong but I think he enjoyed being a “kid” for so long and now he is a full blown adult and is having a hard time coping with that.
I really dont know how to help him and im not about to let a homie go through this alone so please tell me how I can help him. Its keeping him up at night.
