Do you feel like you haven't achieved as much as you wanted in life?

[Deleted]

I'm 26. I'm still quite young.

But I remember years ago when I would see a movie with young adults and look at their info on the net I'd see ages over mine by quite a few years. Well today I had a sort of a shock. I started watching the Shannara Chronicles and looked up the main cast and their ages. 25; 25; 22 - now, for you it might not seem like much, but for me it was quite unexpected. All these people were younger than me and had done quite a lot with their lives, ended starring in a serial which is quite nice and might actually be successful in the future. In the meantime I just finished a university and had a crappy job for almost 3 years. It's not nothing but... I still feel like I haven't achieved much.
Now, as I said, I'm still 26, but I still feel like I may not moving fast enough in a direction I like and I feel like I'm somewhat stagnating and don't know why. I just feel lost somewhat.

What about you?

Only when I watch the olympics.

It's impossible to know before dying since life isn't over yet.

[Alydael]

It's a tough question.

There are things I wanted to achieve but haven't but there are also things I didn't think I would be able to do but accomplished them anyway.

You should never be satisfied though, that just leads to stagnation. Hopefully, I still have some more achievements upcoming in the future!

[Revi]

I never planed to have achieved all my goals by 24, so no. Of course there's people who have done more, there's 18-year olds who have started businesses and become multi-millionaires, famous artists, etc. but comparing yourself to the "best" will always make you fall short. We can't all be Bill Gates or cure cancer.

Have I achieved as much as I wanted? Yes, and more.

Have I achieved as much as I could? Not even close.

[Gamdwelf]

Naw I'm pretty successful I just want a garage before my Tesla arrives.

[Aeula]

I have no goals. I'd have thought about becoming a politician, but my reputation is probably irreparably damaged thanks to the Internet. Oops.

After retiring at 30 I kind of accomplished all of my goals I admit to subscribing to boredom often though now a days...

26 is old. You should become an independent man, that learns from experience, you might be more successful, due to confidence, you'll be more approachable.

I would advise you to stop getting advice from MMO-Champion, because probably the 80% of the replies will be either from kids 14+, oh and grow a beard.

Thought I would have a family by now, just got summons up my courage and commit.

I'm 22, I have a girlfriend, a car, an apartment, soon a well paying job. My parents are very well-off, financially. I get a blowjob at least once a week.

I'm good.

All I still really want are kids. A boy and a girl, preferably.

[Karamaru]

Since I am moving to Canada in 2 years I would say that is my new goal to suceed there I think life is all about getting new goals and making them a reality and always set your sights to new things rather than keep living in the past atleast thats my motto.

Definitely. I was struck down with a disabling illness in my 30s which pretty much fucked up my plans for life.

Stan Lee didn't create Spider-Man until he was 40, so there's hope for the rest of us.

Im 25 and kinda regret that I worked a crappy job for five years, got alot of money of it though. Now Im at the university and will definitely find a job when Im done.

I don't feel less accomplished professionally than my peers but socially I feel like I haven't done much, no girlfriend, few friends and I haven't travelled much despite being able to.
