About the results of the survey

About 80% (76%) of respondents feel a "vague sense of emptiness" in their current lives

Do you ever feel a "vague sense of emptiness" in your current life?

In this survey, 76.0% of all respondents answered that they feel "vague emptiness" in their current lives. Several factors may be behind this.

For example, while this is a time when "life choices" such as finding a job, changing jobs, getting married, and having a baby appear before them one after another, this is also a generation that is prone to hesitation about what the right answer is, and anxiety about the future, wondering if they can continue as they are. In addition, they may be unconsciously trying too hard to meet the expectations of those around them or wavering between what they "want" to do and what they "should" do. This may also lead to a blank space in your mind. This "emptiness" that comes to you suddenly in your daily life may not be a sign that something is missing, but rather a message from your heart telling you to "face your true feelings.

About 40% (38%) of respondents feel that their work is going well.

Do you feel that your current job is going well?

The survey showed that only about 38%** of all respondents felt that their current job is going well. On the other hand, 33.2% answered "undecided," and a total of 28.6% answered "not doing very well" or "not doing well at all.

What these figures reveal is the reality that many people in their 20s and 30s are in a state of ambiguous response, unable to say for sure whether their work is going well or not. During this period, when the foundations of a career should be laid, it is easy to have difficulty seeing day-to-day results and to feel a mixture of confidence and anxiety. In particular, the 34.2% who responded that they are doing "fairly well" also indicate a somewhat modest self-evaluation, saying that they are not doing enough to be assured that they are doing "well.

Even when things seem to be going well at first glance, there is an inner "am I doing enough as it is? "Couldn't I do more? The "private (life, human relations, etc.)" group is a group of people who are not very good at anything.

About 50% (55%) feel that their private lives (life, relationships, etc.) are fulfilling.

Do you feel that your private life is fulfilling?

In this survey, about 55% of all respondents feel that their private life is fulfilling. On the flip side, nearly half of the respondents feel that their lives and relationships are somewhat lacking.

The 45.5% who answered "Fairly fulfilled" revealed a certain level of satisfaction, but also a small sense of discomfort in the back of their minds, such as "something is missing" or "I want to be more like this.

The 20s and 30s are a time when life options are expanding rapidly in terms of work, relationships, housing, and family. That is why we need to ask ourselves, "What is a life that is truly my own? With whom and in what kind of relationship do I want to live? and "What kind of relationship do I want to have with whom?

Even if there are no problems on the surface, they are in the process of searching for "the outline of themselves" on the inside.

These figures seem to reflect the delicate state of mind of the Life Design Generation.

About 50% (51%) of respondents think that you "seem to be doing well from others' point of view.

Do you think you "look like you are doing well from others' point of view"?

The survey found that about 51% of respondents answered, "I think I look like I'm doing well when others look at me.

While more than half of the respondents feel that they "appear to be doing well" to those around them, there are probably many who feel that there is a discrepancy between their own perception and that of others.

They look like they are doing well, but inside they are full of anxiety.

"I am being evaluated, but I am not sure if I am doing the right thing.

Such "gap between the outside and the inside" is one of the common trends among the sensitive concerns of people in their 20s and 30s. As one's life stage progresses, there are more and more situations where one is judged by titles and achievements. In the midst of this, there may be moments when you get tired of playing the role of the "well-behaved" person you are.

But the truth is that it is much more important to be honest with yourself now than it is to be "on track. Take some time away from the gaze of others and listen to your own voice. Such time may help you develop your inner "smoothness.

Do you think it's okay to be like this? About 90% (89%) of the respondents are sometimes anxious about whether or not they can continue to live their lives as they are.

Do you ever wonder if you are doing the right thing? Do you ever feel anxious about "Is it OK as it is?

In this survey, about 89% of respondents said that they sometimes wonder if they can continue to live as they are. About 89% of the respondents answered that they sometimes feel anxious about the situation. Of these, about half answered "often," indicating that many people in their 20s and 30s experience hesitation and pause about the future on a daily basis.

This question is by no means a special concern. Rather, it is a question of "Am I making the choices that are right for me? "Am I really moving in the direction I want? It can be said that it is a movement of the mind to check the axis of one's life.

In today's rapidly changing society, where it is difficult to see the right answer, stopping to ask "Is this the way I want to go?" may be a natural and healthy reaction. Rather than denying the anxiety itself, we can use the feeling of discomfort as an opportunity to reconsider what is truly important to us. Such a careful approach may be the key to creating "life-size happiness" in the future.

What is the true nature of "somewhat anxious"? Four main themes that the Lifedesign Generation is facing

Vague anxiety: "Will I be able to continue as I am?" The main theme of the "somewhat anxious" is "Is it OK to continue as we are? When asked about the specifics behind this concern, the top responses were career (56.4%), health and retirement (52.1%), marriage and family (43.8%), and self-worth (37.8%), all of which are fundamental to their lives.

More than 10% (10.8%) of the respondents answered that they were anxious for no particular reason. Anxiety without a reason may be a sign of difficulties in living or a standstill that lurks in daily life.

These results suggest that people in their 20s and 30s are a generation in transition, searching for a balance in their hearts and minds as they design their lives one step at a time, with no right answer.
