An Overview Of The Failure To Launch Syndrome

By Edward Green


Life in the childhood stages is fun, but the kids come to realize this after they are grown and cannot afford to sleep for half a day or play from morning to evening. Transitioning to adulthood is the toughest thing in the life of any individual. Many young men and women are facing internal crisis trying to gain balance in the world filled with responsibilities; hence, suffering from failure to launch syndrome.

The worst kind of suffering is internal, because no one will see the pain. If living in the modern societies, you are probably aware of the exaggeration about what a good life entails and those who are unable to reach the societal standards end up in depression. There is a common tendency that graduates should secure jobs with handsome pays a short while after finishing their studies and later start building empires, and those who struggle to get the jobs become victims of the syndrome.

Everyone is bombarded with a stockpile of responsibilities and none will compliment your past accomplishments. Instead of influencing you to go to the next mile, some will pull you down by making you feel worse for failing to lead glorious lives like your buddies. Nevertheless, the criticism will never stop and the best form of justice to yourself is acting after feeling the inadequacy.

Fear is destructive as it makes you uncertain of your energy and will focus more on the past failures than achievements. The ability to act begins when you believe in yourself and control the predominating emotion. Allow yourself to think about failing as an ordinary occurrence and you will subconsciously overcome the syndrome.

As an adult, your eyes ought to be open all the time and you should be ready to act whenever you notice odd behavior. The common actions are telling others to take the duties, avoiding punishments by lying, carrying out their activities sluggishly so they can be excluded, and pretending to forget their duties.

There is a manifold of trends that have contributed to this predicament and the common is claiming to know about the lives of adults. Indubitably, the world is stressful and excessive focus on the nature of struggle leads to anxious individuals. The message is bombarding from all corners and exposure to details on bullying, suicide, and violence brings the flames of fear.

The nature of parenting is itself a problem not the solution. Many are over-protective and deny their children to experience disappointments, challenges, and adversities. Undoubtedly, the love is real and the intentions noble, but at the end of the day, the growing adults have nothing to hold on rather than the circulating information that the phase is hectic.

Happiness is in everything that you interact with and because you must solve the problems, you will gain satisfaction in your actions and will be the happiest person in the face of the universe. The ability to believe that you are equal to everyone will encounter the disappointments.
