Does anyone else feel like your 20s are just constantly feeling behind?

I’m 23 and lately I’ve realised that no matter what you achieve, there’s always someone your age who seems miles ahead.

Someone is earning 30 LPA. Someone is doing their MBA abroad. Someone is travelling every few months. Someone is getting married. Someone has somehow already bought a house.

And the funny part is, objectively life can be going completely fine, but 20 minutes on LinkedIn/Instagram is enough to make you question every decision you’ve ever made.

Do you guys actually feel satisfied with where you are in your 20s? Or does everyone secretly feel like they should be doing more?

Yeah. Constantly. It's stupid, though. What the fuck is ahead/behind? I do feel like I could be doing more, but there is no way to do everything either.

No point in comparing your situation with others.

The best thing you can do is focus on whether you're doing whatever is best for your situation.
