Is it normal to feel lost in your 20s?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, feeling lost in your 20s is very normal. You’re often making big choices while still figuring out what you want, and there’s no single schedule you have to follow.

Your 20s can come with a lot of pressure to have a career, relationship, and general life plan sorted out. Meanwhile, plenty of people are changing direction, trying things that don’t fit, or quietly wondering if everyone else got a map you missed.

Feeling uncertain doesn’t mean you’re failing or falling behind. You don’t have to solve your whole life at once; it can help to focus on what feels like a useful next step, even if it’s a small one.
