I think you need to realize your own goals and give yourself some kudos instead of judging your life on what your friends are doing. Might not hurt to visit a doctor and get some anti-anxiety medicine. Give yourself a break and reward yourself for your accomplishments!

it sounds like you need a hobby

Why don't you do some volunteer work?
Helping other people is unbelieveably rewarding. In the process you realise the positive parts of your life. Once you calm down, you can concentrate on how to fix the problems you have, and bring your life back in track.
Good luck!
Try a job in Human Relations.It'll be perfect for you!

My dear friend redtape, I had the same problem until I started to take a look at the world. there are so many people who are real losers,drug users,mentaly impared,and those who are lost. Sounds like you have your act together, just in Jesus and keep on trucking. Advice from a 61 year old man. GOD Bless you.

You can change the way you feel about stuff by changing the way you think. BTW if you love learning and like school why don't you think about becoming a professor. You sound very intelligent. Blessings.

you know, the people i think who are cool , are the ones who don't give a crap about what other people are doing.
and i think you and me, dont need to think about comparing yourself to others.

you are you and youre on your way to figuring your life things out the best you can. besides...wld you really want to be having children right now?

oh and yeah, ofcourse life is passing you by, but its passing everyone by.
im studying music and you know my field(classical) is kind of dying, to get a job in here the normal age is like 30 at the symphony auditions...so i feel the same at times.

but life is open ended, and in each year i feel ive achieved something and metcool people or whatnot..

just relax and keep enjoying your studies, talk to friends and remember to not take things so seriously, life is for fun :D

Comparing yourself and your life to others isn't a good way to evaluate yourself and your life.

Hi
Just dont think so much about all!! I know it sounds stupid, but when you stop thinking about it all, things will start to happen...good things! Take it easy and...wait to see!
take care
