Any updates from OP, did this thread help you put your situation in perspective any better? I hope the best for you. And those people about your same age that seem to be doing great things...wait about 10-15 years to make that assessment on them, things have a way of leveling out. You’re a later bloomer that’s all, your day is coming! Edit: and I should say that anyone can make their life seem great on social media, if that’s where you are getting the idea they are doing great. Don’t worry about them and do what makes you happy.
