Why many young men in their early 20s seem so depressed these days?

I’m not too sure but I’m 26 so I’m considered late twenties. I’m what you call a job hopper. Throughout my multiple jobs I’ve met all kinds of people. Some of these people were younger dudes who were in the age group you mentioned. At my last job I met a dishwasher who was very dissatisfied with his position in life. He kept talking about how “this ain’t it bro, I’m trying to holler at some hoes but I can’t do that while working as a dishwasher…..have you heard of Andrew Tate?”. I just kind of laughed when he told me this and I thought to myself “ he’s so convinced that becoming rich and famous will make him happy and he’s so focused on this that he can’t see the many blessings that he’s got in life already. Many believe one has to be discontent with their present to pursue a better future but I disagree. One can live a life of gratitude while still pursuing an ideal future. The glass may be half full but I’m in no rush to fill it and as a matter of fact it’s more than half full because my life is quite fulfilled as it is already. If I fill it more then it’s welcomed but if not then it’s not worth stressing about in the present. I’m not vouching for endless optimism and I’m not saying that I hold all of the answers but what I am saying is that sometimes instead of looking for answers from the external world like Andrew Tate on YouTube it’s better to listen to your own inner intuition. After all, you know yourself better than anyone else. If what you desire is to be filthy rich and famous then by all means pursue it but just make sure it’s what YOU really want and that you don’t forget that part of the pleasure is found in the pursuit of the goal. Washing those dishes is part of his journey because he chose to be there, probably to pay the bills or make a little extra cash but he’s there and I was there too along side him washing dishes smelling like filth. We are both losers by society’s standards but I don’t mind because I don’t see myself as a loser. I know who I am and where I am going. My job is pretty lame and seemingly pointless but that’s okay because most peoples lives isn’t a dramatic heroes journey or a playboy billionaire’s journey and I don’t expect it to. Of course I don’t enjoy washing dishes but I make the best of it while pursuing my own personal goal: To live off the grid on my own land away from the busy cities and suburbs. Maybe a small town will be ok too. My goal isn’t any more right or valid than anyone else’s. To each his/her own.
