I just turned 30 and I definitely feel exhausted from overthinking and comparing/feeling like an underachiever

Took me 23years to complete my BA, 2 more years to get my MFA. I was running a business and raising 5 kids but refused to give up. 5 years later I ended it with my husband of 22 years. I did go through this, thinking I wasted so much time but came to the realization that no matter what I still grew and learned from my experience and that I was bound and determined not to spend another 22 years of my life miserable. Regarding my degrees, I knew I had to finish what I started and be a role model to my kids.

This is so relatable...feelings of regret, shame, anger at myself, comparison to others, repeat cycle...

As a 25 year old who dropped out of college at 20 and is looking to go back and redeem myself, I really, really needed to hear this. Thank you.

My Grandmother once told me "Everything in life happened the way it was supposed to happen". I believe in the grieving process of the past, and also to learn from it.

After my divorce and followed relationships with a sociopath, I was devastated and discouraged. I was only 27, but I thought I was old and worthless and would never be loved again. Six months later I met the love of my life, we’ve been together for 10 years, 8 years in marriage. So when I start having these thoughts about my life not being like the one I envisaged, I console myself that maybe it’s gonna be even better than any plans.

At times it's easy to feel stuck or behind. Then you see all of the people who rushed into a degree, marriage, or situation that didn't work out for them. I'm 28, single and little to no college. But I'm working on persuing my dreams as a voice actor. I've seen friends and family divorced because they rushed a marriage, people unemployed because they chose the wrong career. Ect. It's hard to be patient, but it's better to be patient than miserable. I almost rushed into the military last year because I thought it would bring me closer to the girl I was perusing. Than I thought "Am I doing this for me? Or for her?" And have since stopped talking to her. It takes time to yourself to really look at your own path. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

The past is gone, dwelling on it is not helpful. We only have the present moment to create a better future. Mindfulness is a wonderful tool for work and relaxation.

I’m 25, and I was “supposed” to have finished undergrad by age 22.

I had to withdraw from classes multiple times, failed one or two courses (due to mental health issues), and took a brief leave of absence. And on top of all that, I became a part-time student, only prolonging the amount of time spent in undergrad.

It sucks to still be in undergrad while watching my 2018 classmates finish masters programs already.

But at the same time, I’ve done an immense amount of healing, self-discovery, starting new treatments, and I also started building my own business.

Even then, I can still feel bad about it sometimes. But I’m so glad that I haven’t let it bring me to the point of quitting.

I'm a 48 year old male. I have a law degree and practiced for 10 years. I'm a bookkeeper at a transportation company now. I am actually happy but feel like a complete failure in my professional life. I am a hard worker and probably of average intelligence. Also, I probably have some weird social disorder since I have never had close friends.

For years i felt behind on life, feeling that im not good enough because im not where i want to be in life and feel like im running out of time, and no matter how hard i tried i felt as if im getting knocked 5 steps back after the 1st step take i take each time. Im trying to break my mind from this cycle of shame, unfulfillment, and guilt. These videos help me but i know it will take time to internalize it

[milaalt]

Dont worry girl I'm 31 and trying to finish my bachelors

[NM-xgms]

I don’t know how this suddenly came up on my feed. But i was literally falling down the self blame/regret rabbithole (for the 1000th time) as I saw this. This is for me one of the hardest things i’ve had to deal with. Everytime I think i’m over it, then suddenly something triggers it again. It’s truly hard. The feeling that you ruined your own life, didn’t reach your potential. But yes in all of that we forget to see that there is still so much of life ahead. And we should be 100% present for that. Thank you for this video, great tips and insights, and overall good wake up call.

Spot on, hit the big 40 in September and don't have my own home, no partner or kids, certainly never thought I'd be 40 and not to have all that

[velvetambuski]

Oh my goodness...this is so where I am at right now.

[peachwedding]

I also started grad school at 28!! I went to school with a few ladies that were 50+ with kids, so I didn't really feel like the odd one out, but I definitely felt out of place in terms of not being married yet or finding that life partner, but I've learned to let go of these expectations of myself.

[jonathanwilliams]

I'm 24. I've never been in a relationship and I've been living with my parents for the past year after the pandemic shut down my school during my senior semester. I don't know that I actually need a relationship or my own apartment. I really just need to stop being angry and upset that life didn't hand me everything that I wanted.

[barrymcgahan]

Recently turned 40 and realised I haven't accomplished anything. Never learned to drive, never had a proper relationship, no kids, no job, no idea who I am or what I want to be. I don't know what my goals are, what I want in life. I'm quite introverted and the idea of going out and doing things and interacting with other people is so scary that I basically sat in my room and let my thirties pass me by. I want to do something about it, figure out what and who I wanna be but I don't know how, and am so afraid of what it will take to do it.

Thank you for this. I’ve been feeling this so much lately!

It’s a genuine struggle to remind yourself that it’s okay if your journey is different from everyone else’s. That just proves that you’re a unique person different from others.
