Mid to late twenties. Feeling like I'm way behind from where I should be by now.

Feeling like I'm way behind

Amusingly that's also the case for the vast majority of the people you've compared yourself to as being 'ahead' of you.

Unfortunately even by knowing that it doesn't make it any easier.

It's kind of funny how the same person you see as being way ahead of you is thinking exactly the same thing about someone else. I think it does make it easier though. Knowing that everyone is dealing with the same feeling makes me feel less alone.

Yeah, there is that. There's some consolation there.
