You're 25 and have done Nothing with your life. What's Wrong With You?

I know what you are trying to say. I, for instance ask questions like that too. But I think, if you'll just be happy with your life and you accept it, I think you don't have to be insecure to the people surrounding you. But if you wanted something that will happen to your life, like being successful, then plan things now. Its not too late to anyone to become successful on the field that you want. What you bneed is the motivation to do so. Always remember that there are late bloomers. Maybe you are one of them. ;)

i'm not 25 still in 23 but soon i will be in 24 so not far away...i know well what are you talking about..look around and find all friends or relative in your age are achieving or moving to new step and you still in the same place with no any progress:( feel like stuck in middle of no-where...I understand this very well because i'm in this position ,no boyfriend ,away from friends,no connection with parents(even living with them) and these means no social life..i'm working but stuck in my place with no experience and jobs opportuntiry are slow low specially with economy crisis..So :S Waiting any miracle to happened .

Well, those people who seem so successful probably aren't living such wonderful lives in reality. How many of them are married now but will be divorced in a few years or months? How many have seemingly wonderful careers but actually have tons of hidden debt that they're struggling to make payments on? How many have started families without really being ready for that responsibility? How many have educational backgrounds that haven't helped them establish themselves in a career? The saying "the grass is greener on the other side" applies here...other people aren't living such wonderful lives if you take a closer look. The truth is life is hard for everyone. Personally, I feel like marriage and children are totally optional and no one should feel pressured about those things. Indeed, I think it's especially wrong to pressure people to have children...if they turn out to be not very good parents, it's the children that suffer as a result. Parenting is one of the toughest jobs out there, and once your children have arrived there's no reset button you can hit...they're your responsibility from here on out. On the flip side, I do think it's important for people to try to provide for their own needs as best they can so they don't have to rely on family and the goodness of other people for their survival. If you try and try and try and really can't support yourself, then that's one thing...but you owe it to yourself and society to at least do your best to secure an income and pay your own way.

Well, that's me, 25 and nothing. I'm trying my best to be successful and have been picking up the pieces everytime I shoot and miss. Getting married isn't making something of your life at all. Those are the people who want to seem like they're doing something when in reality they're making their lives worse. Getting married requires expenses you need to get out from the dark depths of your pockets, or your parent's if you don't have that much of a pride or if culture permits it. You need to have a stable job and, or to be rich, or to have saved up for about 8 to 10 years for the wedding, to get married. And not to mention the kid they're going to bring up, that will require an extra-large sum of money and time. All of this has to be planned out, which brings me to a conclusion that the right age to get married is 30-40 years old if you belong to a middle class and not a successful car salesman, day trader, or realtor.

That's what i repeatedly hear from my friends and family whenever there are gatherings.Sometimes it gets too annoying for me when they try to rub it in on me prodding me to further my education, get the highest degree and find another high paying job. I mean its my life and happy with it.Whatever plans i might have, i would pursue in my own convenient time.

I think you should focus on your life and how its evolving rather than making comparisons. Do you think anyone that did anything great compared themselves to others saying what am I doing? Have confidence that your on the right path in your life and that your journey and experience is separate from everyone elses. Thinking like this only makes things worse, and focusing on how much fun and excitement you have in your life will truly enlighten your experience.

I think it's bad to compare yourself to other people your age. I have done this, and while I'm only 20, I feel *behind* in many ways - such as education and career-wise and even relationship-wise. But this is how all of our lives are different. They all move at different paces. Things will happen when they were meant to happen (this is my belief) and it doesn't make you a lesser person just because on the outside, you may not seem as *successful* as that person. That's my opinion and I stick to it. It doesn't mean you should stop chasing your dreams because everything will come to you, but still.
