Why am I so angsty? You have heard of teen angst. Have you heard about adult angst? My manager was mean to me -> I'm not and never was good at my job. My partner of many years dumped me -> I am and will always be forevermore unlovable. Nobody wants to sit with me at lunch in the office -> I'm deserving of nothing but hate.
It's suffocating, and unlike teen angst, cannot be romanticised. Because teen angst is a swimming pool. Adult angst is a whirlpool. You have to try and fight and fight and fight not to get sucked in.
