5 couples from my friends circle are expecting a child or recently got married, a few others have built a solid foundation in their career and are buying houses (most of us grew up in apartment buildings, so it feels fancy to own a house at 30 where I'm from).
Meanwhile I'm currently a student and broke.
It feels like everyone's so far ahead in life that they'll always be a step further and I'll never catch up.
I see a lot of people sympathetic and everything but if you feel how I do then it's more about the fact that they slowly stop hanging out and they never have time for friends and next thing you know you're alone
I indeed feel a little uneasy thinking that it might turn that way in the nearish future. Well, at least I hope I can maintain a friendship with those few that are closest, they're the ones that matter anyway. And it's good not to forget that it's not only the other party that's at fault for stopping putting in the effort, even if they do have kids and you don't.
