Almost-mid life crisis hitting hard
I am 35 and recently/suddenly hit upon the realization that I am FAR less successful than I thought I'd be at this age. I am also not as successful as a lot of my friends that I consider to be about the same level of intelligence as me (or even less so, if I want to be brutally honest in the anonymity of reddit).
Everywhere I see I suddenly find myself looking up people's LinkedIn to see what school they went to or what they did to end up where they are and wonder why I am not.
The kicker is, it's not like I am unsuccessful in an absolute sense. I am easily in the top 1% income-wise, but I just can't shake the feeling that I am falling behind people that are my peers.
Add to this the fact that I am at that age where I am seeing people a little younger than me appear far above me in reporting lines making me feel like a loser.
IDK what the point of my post it… I suppose just venting.
