What Causes the ‘Midlife Crisis’?

A midlife crisis happens when people feel like they’re not where they thought they’d be in life, and it makes them want to change everything. Think of it like a kid who suddenly realizes their toy is broken, so they decide to get a new one. But instead of toys, adults might switch jobs or even get a new haircut.
