I have an old pixel 3a and recently bought pixel 7 however I just don’t know how to transfer everything and I already made new account for the pixel 7 but I was thinking like could I merge the email of pixel 3a since I have apps, photos, notes, videos and stuff on there.
Anyone who genuinely changed themselves through self improvement journey what did you guys do? Like was it hard to get out of the comfort zone, become little discipline and pushing yourself to certain limit to figure out what your capable of? Like what did you guys do when you felt like giving up or when you didn’t see any improvement. Did you ever felt the fear of missing out or felt bad that your missing the old you?
It’s pretty crazy the things you consume and the habits or lifestyle you have can have impact on your mind and body. Like after certain age, people take life seriously others just remain stagnant and complain of life being unfair to them and when they see others they think I wish I had those traits.
I really want to get in shape but also work on getting stronger, flexible and overall improve mobility. Like I guess most people spend majority of time sitting on a desk.
I’m 29 and honestly feel stuck in the same place I was at 18.
I don’t drive, I don’t have a stable job, no college degree, and I don’t really have any skills I can confidently rely on. I spend most of my time alone and I’m not great at socializing, so I don’t really have friends either. On top of that, I struggle with low self-esteem and even asking for help feels embarrassing, like I should’ve figured things out by now.
Today kind of hit me hard. My younger brother just had his senior award ceremony, and seeing him at 18 made me realize how little I’ve progressed since that age. It feels like I’ve lost an entire decade, like I’m 10 years behind everyone else.
I know everyone says “it’s not a race,” but it’s hard not to compare when you’re this far off track. I genuinely don’t know what steps to take or how to fix my life from here.
Has anyone else been in a similar position and actually turned things around? What did you do to get unstuck?

I feel so bad that I continue living in isolation to a point that I’m not even talking on the phone nor stepping out the house and even if I do, my social skills feel cooked. I’ve noticed my suddenly becomes shallow and I tend to feel serious or overwhlemed as if my overthinking has increased. And I also noticed I talk very slow and react slow too. Barely able to make eye contact and let alone just keep the conversation flowing. Like I don’t even know how to make small talks with a cashier or worker at store. So many pekole I’ve noticed compliment or say hi how’s it going and ask about a product that in exchange the other person feels comfortable. And I’m feeling like the dumb one who doesn’t know what to do. A person was smiling and I just ended up froze and then I noticed she also got serious. I’m like what the heck I’m doing 🤦♂️😓

So I’m trying to understand what typically comes next after securing a decent job and the goal is to like increase the salary as time goes by maybe get promotions and develop more skills and networking to potentially grow in the company.
When people become more financially stable or start building real wealth, what do they actually do differently??
Do they like:
Invest more aggressively in stocks or index funds?
Put money into startups or other businesses?
Buy land or real estate and rent it out?
Focus on building their own business or multiple income streams such as selling courses online or doing social media for fun but later turns into a profitable idk business or something.
I guess long-term financial growth looks like beyond just earning a salary so what are some practical ways to start.
If someone doesn’t want to stay in corporate long term, what are the actual realistic options?
•Business sounds good, but is it practical without strong backing or connections?
•Freelancing / online work — is it stable enough long term?
•Govt jobs ka grind worth it hai?
•Or are there other paths people don’t really talk about?
Sometimes it feels like agar corporate nahi kiya toh life set nahi hogi… but I’m not sure if that’s actually true.
Genuinely curious to hear from people who’ve taken a different route or figured something else out.
Kya options hai realistically?

I feel a bit bad and behind that I’m in 30s now and I still don’t have life figured out or atleast have a basic formula. Like you know such things like focus on building your finances, prioritize health and being happy and relationships with everyone. I think we are living in a distraction and comparison mode because we are so engaged in social media and just the general human nature of seeing someone else have a better life in something’s we lack like relationship, money wise, health wise and so on..
I’ve noticed in many people lives where when they are divorced, their own family relatives suddenly keep a distance and think as if they are a letdown and will ruin family name in society as if their social status will drop. And without knowing anything people spread misinformation and make the person name so bad that it’s even difficult to find a new relationship.
I feel bad that I’m 29 but I’m continuing choosing to stay home and not really in depth figuring ways to getting out of this rut situation. I’m letting past failures, fears, embrassed to ask others for help and constant negative thinking or doubts just hold me down. Maybe I’m making excuses and just worrying. But if I was actually actually serious then I would just do it scared and confused. Umm I don’t know but I’m just tired of myself and it’s worse when others pin point your weakness and flaws. It’s like you’re allowing other people chances to talk badly upon you. And most actually care and want to see you progress. It’s like at this age, I still don’t know how do I setup my life successfully. All I’m doing is sitting at home using phone to escape reality. Doing house chores and stuff but nothing meaningful that will lead to confidence, resiliency and spark of ambition. Everyone is chasing after money and trying to make something out of life and settling down potentially. Such as marriage, buying house, starting business and I don’t know what else most people life goals are .
I don’t think it’s randomly but like unresolved problems and not able to find this peace or clarity leaves me just anxious overwhlemed and feeling down. It’s like I try and try to seek clarity but I’m not able to find it and in drawback I feel sense of hopeless. Ever since my mother passed away til now I’m struggling to figure out where to move. So me and my siblings cannot make up our mind where to move. One place is cold and living costs are high. Other place living cost is moderate but harder to find jobs and community. At the end we are looking for moral support and just the goal of getting a job maybe the rest of things will align like college, finding a place to live and stuff. But it’s like when you don’t get moral support and people constantly breaking their word makes me so upset because I feel so much hope in them like great we found someone but they later switch up and don’t care.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I genuinely don’t understand how some people afford their lifestyle.
I see people eating out all the time, traveling pretty often, shopping without really thinking twice, and driving nice cars. And I’m just sitting here wondering… how does that actually work financially?
Are people really making that much from their jobs alone, or is there more behind the scenes? Like side businesses, multiple income streams, or family help?
I also wonder how much of it is stuff people don’t really talk about—like using credit cards heavily, being in debt, getting financial help from family, child support, or even some kind of government assistance.
Or maybe social media just makes everything look better than it actually is, and people aren’t as financially stable as they seem.
I just don’t know how some people are affording to eat out everyday and traveling frequently then shopping without hesitation. Like are they this rich just by working at their jobs or is there more to it like a potential side business or something else. Sometimes I see poor people who barely have nice jobs are driving expensive cars and going to vacations and it makes me wonder like how are this people affording all this. Do they get gov assistance or child support assistance. Most people just being smart with their money and saving it.
Does practical mean that don’t focus on emotions and feelings but do the obvious things that life requires. Even thought people online will say life is about creating experience and exploring. But in reality for most people it’s just survival. After certain age things like making money, becoming healthy and fit isn’t option or maybe it’s just very difficult to do that.
Living in isolation and feeling embrassed to start working on life has really ruined my mind. I’m constantly living in my head letting thoughts, feelings, emotions just bring me down and keep me stagnant. I just feel mentally stuck even thought I guess I’m aware of it.
