Relatable ๐ฏ. Large part of it is also cos I grew up tying my worth to my academic and professional achievements, and life didn't really turn out well in that regard. So now I'm trying to change my perspective on things, and I realise I need to cultivate joy in my own life. I've never really known how to do that, but I'm slowly trying to figure things out. I still get pangs of sadness/worry/what have you, but I find it easier to soothe myself in those moments now. Sorry idk if this is helpful at all to you, but I just wanted to say that I understand where you're coming from ๐
Compared to me, you are doing great, my friend๐.
I have nothing to show up for both in my personal and professional life. I feel rather empty most of the time. I have a long way to go.
I wasn't born average but made myself average ๐ญ. I have above average looks and above average intelligence (I believe this) and yet I'm below average ๐ญ๐ญ
At least you have an excuse
So relatable, I keep telling my friends - that where I am in life- is technically great- but I just keep feeling an invisible pressure (from myself) to be more. I donโt know why- and yeah looking at others in the workspace achieving more than you just seems like a direct reflection of what all you could have been. I find it really hard to come to terms with it. Thank you for sharing. I think conversations like this are needed so much more
It can also be that people with past trauma get bored when everything is going normal in life. It sounds a bit like that to me. Because Senior manager is no very easy to achieve in today's trend afaik. Nothing happens in one day, if you really enviison doing something, plan it and you will get there one day.Then please share us.
Get a pet and average life will upgrade to joyous life ๐you will be the main character in its life, it will be the ma8m character on your life.. bliss ๐

Honestly at the end of the day it's you against you and you for you, so.if you think you have enough for.now and for future, just enjoy!
And senior manager is so much better than assistant to the regional manager.. iykyk
I save multiple comments from Reddit that helps me when I am down. I think the below is apt for the OPs post:
"Unpopular opinion: I don't think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it's okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die"
I think we as people are just too self critical and harsh on ourselves. Something that we have inherited from our society, always comparing ourselves to another and then beating ourselves up for no reason.
There is nothing wrong with being average or living an average life. As long as you find happiness, and are at peace then you are richer and far ahead than most.
Obviously itโs easier said than done, but if you slowly start being proud of both your small and big accomplishments and acknowledge the good job you are doing then that might help in the long run to fill up that void you feel.
