There is nothing to 'get through'. I have nothing 'going on'. my life is great. I'm doing better than like 90% of people. I have a high paying job I love, pets, a home, and a great fulfilling life. But I can't use any of that to change other people or the world around me. I'm not God.

Your presumption that the material and social conditions of reality around me are a personal failing of mine, is what is wrong. I didn't vote for Trump to tank the economy, but yet, I still must deal with that because other people around me decided he would be a good president. And like everyone else, now I have to face the reality of getting paid less, taxed more, and my cost of living going far more quickly than it would have had he not been president... all so he can make more billions for himself and cut tax rates on the 1%. Under Biden I was getting 5-10% yearly raises... because he was investing in this country.

marriage and birthrates are plummeting across the developed world, it's far worse in parts of Europe and Japan/Korea. Because the material and social conditions there are even worse than they are in the USA. Look a Japan if you want to see the future of the USA, where nobody actually dates anymore and people increasingly hire hire professional fake partners for social events to keep up appearances that they are dating.

but my personal attitude is what is causing people in Japan to not pursue marriage and children! clearly!
