- Having your parents both die when you are in your 20s.

Explanation:

As per the theory regarding the impact of the social clock on the events of adult life, the individual patterns associated with the most disturbance, current cohorts, or personal difficulty would be 'having your both parents die when one is in the 20s'. The social clock has a significant impact on directing the evolution of a person with the age and if parents of an individual die before him/her, especially when they are in their teenage. This leads to have a considerable impact on the development or evolution of him/her as they lose their guide in life which makes them suffer upheaval, disturbance, confusion, and personal struggles and strains. Thus, this would be most affiliated to the disruptive state in individuals.
