For me? That seems low to be honest.

Sounds like you might have depression, maybe try looking into that. Good luck with everything!

It's funny, because I'm the exact opposite. I'm grateful that there are people who are this passionate about their work, accomplishment, wanting to become more, traveling and doing all sorts of stuff every month but it's never been me, and I'm fine with it. I have a job, but I value the time that I have for myself. I don't care if people would call me unproductive/lazy because I love watching movies when I'm off work, it's my time and I like it that way.

Maybe there's a piece of the puzzle missing for you and you don't see it yet. I don't believe in all the "be productive at all time" BS social media is trying to feed us, but maybe you need to find something that will give you this idea that you're doing something. I know friends who are wired very differently than me in this regard. It doesn't have to be something big, but something that matters to you. Start with things that you enjoy or believe in. You haven't wasted your life; you're still there, which is what matters. Your life is no less than anyone else's no matter how strongly you feel that way at the moment. Sure, you most likely won't invent a new recyclable plastic, but who said you have to?

I hope this helps in some way!

TLDR - focus more on what you have control over

I feel overwhelmed for trying to pace up with these kind of people

Same.

How did you deal with this?

One thing that helps is trying to avoid that kind of information, whenever possible. The less you know about something that bothers you, the less it ends up bothering you. Still on that page, another thing that kind of helps me deal with it is knowing that a good portion of those "30 under 30" from Forbes might be grifts or scams, like Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman Fraud and Charlie Javice.

Another thing that helps me cope is knowing that this whole pressure for overachieving is cultural poison. It's the same shit those NLP quantic coaches peddle, a way to blame YOU for not having an amazing life, full of riches and recognition, because YOU didn't try hard enough. An easy, culturally acceptable way to look down on people with deadend jobs or unemployed.

I don’t like the way the things are

Me neither and, like you, I don't have the means to change shit. Apes alone weak. But, like the TLDR, you have to focus more on what you CAN do, even if small and irrelevant. That's still on you and that's your part.

The funny thing is that the older I get, the more I understand why huge communities can make everyone feel so lonely. You live somewhere close to, say, 20 families, but barely know 2, despite being physically close to where they sleep. How weird is that? All those closed doors and passing sights create a huge disconnect with people that you should care about, because they're so close to where you live that their lives can directly affect yours.

seeing them irl or seeing their insta feed? that social media trash is curated.

I personally haven't ever been that concerned with what others are/aren't accomplishing. ymmv

I'm a father.

I know that life is fleeting. Consider it a success if you're remembered in 2 generations after you pass.

Am I saying "have kids"? No. I just know that what I taught to them will be passed on. Even if my name was lost, my contribution wasn't.

We live on by what we pass on. You're not a failure when you stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. If one idea continues, so do you.

I grew up evangelical, and I definitely wasted my young years not living life because of it.

Kind of. I've amassed a fair amount of knowledge over the span of this life I'm over halfway through, but very little in the way of accomplishments. (Not counting the achievements in video games.)

Only compare yourself to yourself if you’re doing better than you were a month ago, year or even decade you’re going the right way. Everyone has skeletons in their closet to you rarely get to see medical issues, spouse cheating, debt up to their eyeballs all this can be hidden for a long time.

Found the millenial.
