You know what you really don't see? All of their problems. You have no kids, no wife and no house? Well, there are things I'm a bit envious of from you. I mean, you don't have relationship struggles, heart break, and you don't have to take care of what amounts to a tiny drunken man. Now, don't get me wrong, I love them all (Albeit, I'm having some serious marital problems. I may very well join the single crowd in due time. Yippee!!!), but it's like the saying of not seeing the forest for the trees. You don't really know what struggles they're having. Hey, you went to college and maybe or maybe not it's was for nothing, but I'd say that shows a great amount of effort for self improvement. The point is, don't ever compare lives, it's never quite as sunny as you'd imagine. You do you and in time, you'll find your purpose.

I'm 30 and haven't done much either. At least you are not alone https://i.imgur.com/Sey9RX9.gif It's not a race in any case. Feeling stuck in life is a depressing feeling, so you have to move forward towards the things you want, even if they are baby steps.

don't compare yourself to others. it's not good for you! write down what you have done each day. it will help with your feelings

I am months away from 30 and there was a time where I had all I had ever wanted. I had my own apartment, a job in electronic assembly, a woman who was nearly my wife, but I threw it all away. Did anabolic steroids to keep myself in the game of wrestling and bodybuilding. Drug test came, and one thing led to another and my primary source of income was gone. No income meant no steroids, no steroids meant that I ballooned from a 250lb wall of muscle into a 300lb mess. Not to mention the massive depression and panic attacks from not having the testosterone my body was used to. Had to move back in with mother since a job at a convenience store wasn't good enough to survive on my own. Good news is that I am pretty much a shoe-in for another electronic assembly job. I shaved off around 90lbs of fat. My bench press is up to 435lbs which is above my pre-steroid self. Took me a good 3 years to undo that damage. All it takes is a few short years to make a complete and total change. Might start off slow, but once you pick up momentum, you become an unstoppable force. And don't do steroids.

Some good advice here. I am 31 and still not fully on my feet. Spent 5 years prepping for the military through JROTC and ROTC only to finally be told they would not take me due to medical records from when I was a child. Switched gears to use the scholarship I earned to get a Pre-Law degree. Though half way through college I collapsed at work due to my organs shutting down and had to be rushed for emergency surgery. Missed my exams while in recovery, which caused me to fail my classes, which made me lose my scholarship. I took out 20K in student loan debts to finish my degree. Wound up not being able to penetrate the field locally after graduation. Firms either wanted 8+ years of experience or only wanted to pay $9 an hour for paralegal work. Thats also about the time I had a whole lot of family drama going on (parents had a violent divorce I was caught in the middle of), and started to realize things about myself I had been repressing due to my upbringing (like being bi), so I got really confused and depressed for quite a while. Now I am doing the teaching thing. Only subbing atm, while I am waiting to get my cert approved (can take up to 6 months). But I am loving it, and feeling better with myself than I have in years. I am still far from being in an ideal (or even good) situation. But I look ahead and see things getting better.

I’ll be 30 some years later. Currently, I haven’t achieved anything as well, compared with certain successful people around my age~I myself have noticed I am less ambitious than many people ~~Life is difficult, but it is never too old to achieve “something”.

Don't sweat it, bro. Sloths don't do anything and people love them. Just keep going and do what you can then see what happens. Atleast you tried and that's all that matters. https://www.abc.net.au/reslib/201401/r1227527_16149451.jpg
