I just turned 31 last week. Life has been getting better every year. Work is more fulfilling, my skills are improving, my social life is good, and I'm finding new hobbies and pursuits to explore and learn. What I notice in what you write is that you're always comparing yourself to others. Yes, I have friends and acquaintances who are more successful, in terms of money, responsibility, and prestige. I'm happy for them. After the initial envious thought passes, it doesn't make me feel worse-off. A quote I like: "If you define your self-worth in comparison to other people, you're building your house on sand."
