4 out of 5 of them start with "I". That's part of the issue right there. I'm a big believer that at some point in your early 20s you need to do something focused somewhere OTHER than yourself, for at least 6 months, and preferably a year or more. Peace Corps, Americorps, missionary work, military... do SOMETHING to reset your frame of reference, outside of yourself.

I could go on and on and sound more like a grumpy old man, but it would probably only annoy.

There's a lot of misinformation which confuses many people my age to believe that the self is the most important thing. That we are to look out for only ourselves, and then others. If we can afford it.
