I'm top-left (my job pays well, it's engaging, and it has a positive impact on the world).

I have some friends in a 5th category that are hyper-busy with traveling, social engagements, etc. I feel like I have to book time with them weeks in advance.

Oh man I'm constantly training for something, but also bad at sports lol

Didn't say 'wall full of trophies'.

Oh dang this almost perfectly explains me and my three friends

I beg to differ.

I'm absorbed mostly in work but also a little bit of 3, however the "something" is merely trying to stave off a heart attack and premature physical degradation in general, and not so much some grand lofty fitness goal.

And also 4. The amount of negativity that entered my brain through social media reached critical mass during the early stages of Covid and I axed pretty much all of it and never returned.

I’m the one who disappears for a while lol. “Is he in jail or in the Cayman Islands… who knows”

Option E: "Walking around in the woods"

It's kinda like washing reality off with the reality you can't have.

I see no reason why I can't fill all of the quadrants, except for chronic lack of time

Da gays in category four, clap with me! 👏 👏 👏 cha-cha-cha

I spent some time dabbling in all four categories during my thirties. Never really excelling in any of them.

I am on the right side of this picture.

I tell people that I told my ROTC cadre that my nonexistent sister got me pregnant and that's why I stare at goats now, which is a fancy way to say I do counterintelligence, and everyone disappears from my perspective.

Possibly because, in your case, they moved to a geographical region less actively hostile to their non-binary personality, but people continuïng their outgoing Renaissance Fair / Swordfighting / Theater / Convention polycule life is a category for me.

Im checking three of the four quadrants. I work to much, I havea too many kids and I have dropped most of my social contacts intentionally. And im usually constantly angry i don't have the discipline to train consistently to stay fit. Currently I'm also not healthy enough to work out, waiting for a doctors appointment to hopefully fix that shit.

[–] Syft_cosmos@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Have a few who check 3 of those boxes

[–] sqauffle@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

Quadrant III, (bootom left) with II wing (bottom right) for me.

[–] IPeaceInYourFace@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Nothing wrong with that. It's called figuring out what life is all about. And given that your 30s is when you properly mature. It makes perfect sense.

The only one I can't relate to at all is "start a family".

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Of all my friends from before I had kids (oldest is almost 10), none of them have kids.

Most of the couples among that group are all childless and are now either divorced, gay, or both.

To be fair, though, the gay ones were gay all along.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think im all of these but less training for something than the other 3.

I’m not really any of these. How about content with less and spends time traveling?
