How Do You Deal With Feeling Like You Haven’t Figured Life Out by 25?
I'm turning 25 next year, and lately, I've been feeling strangely anxious about it. I always thought that by this age, I would have a stable life and at least some idea of where I was going. But honestly, I don't.
I have over a year of work experience, but I left my job in June because of some startup-related issues. I've been looking for a new job and have received a few offers, but none of them felt right. Now I keep wondering if I'm already behind or if I'm making turning 25 into a much bigger deal than it actually is.
I know social media makes things worse. I see people my age seemingly doing well, building careers, traveling, and enjoying life, while I'm here trying to figure out my next step. I know plenty of people my age are struggling too, but my brain naturally focuses on those who seem ahead of me.
Did anyone else feel this way around 25? How did you deal with the feeling that you were running out of time or falling behind?
