maybe this doesn’t necessarily apply to me but as a current high schooler I feel behind because I want to go to a good college to make my family happy, but the ones near me are competitive and I don’t think I can compete with other students when they have all these extracurriculars. I have straight A’s but these colleges want people who have ...... 2 reply
Reading all these comments, I feel I am behind in life. I have never went to school, nor did I get to enroll in college, or learn to drive. I had dreams when I was younger of going to a high school, making friends, going to calarts or some other art school, but now I see that is not a possibility for me.
I pretend I learned the things everyone els...... 1 reply
I feel behind in life romantically if that makes sense. I’m an adult in college, but I’ve never even had so much as a crush on someone before.

Oh god yes.
I feel like I’ve just started really making something of myself like 4 years ago.

maybe you feel behind but isn’t it better to be a little late & make the right choice than to be too early, rush into things, & make the wrong choice? i’m certain your wishes are a lot more attainable than your anxious mind is making them out to be reply
Real, lowkey yeah. The burnout feeling despite not 'doing much' is real.
Started feeling this when I started highschool, I wanted to get into a philology major (languages, literature, writing, allat fun stuff) mainly to follow a theater university afterwards and get into film making and the whole movie industry.
