Young adults face overwhelming decisions: university, jobs, internships, travel.
– Overthinking is common; it leads to paralysis rather than action.
– Many feel pressured to map out their entire future before taking the first step.
– Overthinking makes every option seem risky.

Parents unintentionally contribute to overthinking.
What they can do:
– Offer support without adding pressure.

Actionable Tips:
– Focus on micro-decisions for the next 3 months instead of long-term plans.
– Experiment and try things out to break the cycle of overthinking.
– Recognize that not deciding is the real risk.
– Taking action builds confidence and opens up new opportunities.

„The world is yours“ sounds inspiring. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Starting a career today is harder, more complex, and more psychologically demanding than ever. There are structural, psychological, and cultural reasons behind this struggle. Young people aren’t weak or unmotivated—they’re overloaded with expectations they were never prepared for.
