Feeling left out
Hello, I am mid 30s and I am a new member here.. nice to meet you all.. Recently, my cousin, my besties are all getting or prepared to getting married.. I feel bad because besides to feeling happy for them, I felt sad as well.. But my sad is mostly not because of they are getting married but mostly is I feel of being left out... I feel everybody can married with someone their love but yet I am here still not success in career yet, not sure about my relationship yet.. I started to feel sad whenever I think about my own achievement that I feel being left out.. So recently I am a lil bit depressed that I don’t really have the excitement to do anything.. I feel lost and empty.. Am I bad to have this kind of feeling..
You are not bad at all. It's okay to feel the way you are feeling. It only means you are striving for progress in your life. You don't want to be stuck at one place. You don't want to get comfortable. That's a good trait. You need to understand that we all have different lives to live. Hence what may happen to someone at age 25 may not happen at age 30 for you. Also the opportunities that are ahead of you may not be the opportunities your cousins and friends would get at the same age you get them. Don't judge your progress by your age. And please don't compare your success and progress with others. You may achieve in a short while what other have taken years to achieve. The timing of events in your life would not be as that if others. It only confirms the fact that you are unique in your own special way. Continue to be happy for the people you love. Look forward to great things ahead of you - new opportunities, new friends, etc. Stay Positive. You will be fine
