>>211686432People no longer treat you charitably. Any missed milestone is now your responsibility. Every time you fail you fail twice, the first is the failure itself and the second is in some apparent personal weakness that allowed the first failure to exist. There are no more excuses. A bad childhood, mental illness and trauma, poor luck, it doesn't matter. You need to have resolved that in your 20s. If you ever need help then it's because you're weak, inferior, and a loser -- you will be made to feel this by everybody. Nobody sees you as a person, least of all potential dates or family members if you have them. If you're a financial drag, your parents hate you. If you're successful, then you're a walking money bag. Women don't just want your money, they also need you to play out a certain character. You need to be a source of physical, emotional, and financial stability. If you're occasionally as sensitive or emotional as they are each month, you are an unhinged, abusive lunatic and you will be abandoned, unless you found one of those poor few that wants for your character the inversion of the former traits, a cruel abuser. Nobody cares how you feel when abandoned. You're not allowed to have emotional scars because that makes you seem disfigured. You will heal any woman's trauma but she will not touch yours. All this and more because your 30s are seen as a time of homeostasis. If you have made it by now, then you have made it for life. If you haven't, you never well. This is why the 20s come with infinite charity and compassion. Even at 28, you might still figure it out, there is infinite potential. But across that barrier, there's only the concrete solidity of an unchanging life. Of course it doesn't have to be like this, there's no physical requirement, but it's what culture dictates and you will almost certainly internalize this to some degree.
