焦虑与困惑
Lying About Your Age For The First Time
症状二:第一次在年龄上撒谎
Although you may have been worried about aging since you graduated from college, most of us don't start to really dread our birthdays until the mid to late-20s. If you just found yourself lying about your age for the first time, pre-30 angst may be kicking in。
即使你从大学毕业后就开始担心衰老的问题,但我们中的大多数还是在25岁之后开始真正感到过生日的压力。如果你发现自己开始在年龄上撒谎的话,那么你或许已经患上了30岁综合症。
Questioning The Value Of Past Achievements
症状三:开始怀疑过往的成就是否有价值
For some women, the insecurity of a pre-30 crisis inolves doubting their past accomplishments -- the wins at work and personal victories that you were once proud of might not seem to amount of much when you're focusing on the ways that your life has fallen short of your own definition of success。
有些女性的30岁综合症会表现在对过往成就的怀疑上。过去在工作中获得的成功以及个人的一些成就,这些原本引以为傲的荣誉看起来并不是生活的重心,你开始对成功的定义有了迷茫。
