examples:

living alone: for centuries people just didnt do this and families lived in intergenerational households.

finding ”the one”: as liberal societies started promoting the nuclear family and the spouse as being the main source of emotional confidant as opposed to interconnected communities

being happy with your job: most of the times the job was just for survival

being happy/stable most of the time

I don't agree with that. It may be the liberal idea of maturity, but not "maturity."

Exactly, the liberal idea, I didn't word it correctly.

You're fine. We all forget that people don't immediately know our minds, especially me.
