Keep in mind that this is likely survivorship bias; for every 22 year old that did all that, there's millions that didn't. This kid is the 0.001% or less, and it's unreasonable for anyone to feel like they missed out. I get it though, it's guilt or the pang of missed opportunity, "if only I worked harder", "if only I wasn't so lazy at the time", but honestly... it's fine. Be glad where you are. Because for every one 22 year old that achieved all that, there's millions that never got that old, millions that ended up in poverty, millions that ended up worse off than you, etc.
- thechao 2y agoHere's something I hadn't thought of: there's been 10–12 thousand generations of people, stretching back ~250000 years. And, yet, you could (in theory) meet ~7% of all humans who've ever been alive right now.
