>>11446735>Young Adulthood then draws to its close with 'the Midlife Transition, from roughly age 40 to 45'Levinson, D. J. (1986). A conception of adult development. American Psychologist, 41(1), 3–13.
12 years at harvard, over 20 at yale researching adult development. are you going to argue with him about it?
not all of us feel so beat down by life that we feel middle aged by our mid 30's. not implying you are, but, it's not that unreasonable to say. of course someone in their early twenties is more of a shining example of a '''young adult''' but someone who's 35 and unmarried is still relatively close to a young adult than they are a middle aged person
