Feel soo behind in life ....
I'm 25M, turning 26 in May, and honestly I feel like I’ve screwed up a lot.
I graduated in 2021 with a Math and Eco degree, had no idea what I wanted to do after that. In 2022 I randomly came across actuarial science and decided to try it. It’s been about 4 years now. I’ve cleared 3 papers and I’m preparing for my 4th, so there has been some progress, but it still feels so slow yaar.
I see people my age (and even younger) already working and earning well. Some of my friends are doing Master’s degrees from top universities in India and abroad, some are getting married because they’re settled… and I feel like I haven’t even properly started yet at 26. I feel happy for them, just can’t help but compare sometimes. Instagram is honestly like the worst thing you can do to yourself IMO — you open the app and it’s like everyone is living their life except me.
And it’s not just career stuff. I’ve been fat pretty much my whole life and every year I tell myself this will be the year I fix it. I’ve never even been on a date, not even had my 1st kiss yet, and I know this is all my fault only… now I just feel stuck.
I know this sounds like I’m begging for sympathy, I’m not… just had to vent. Life just feels sucky abhi.
