Besides "career expectations" what else about 30 feels like a deadline? On the other days you feel like "an absolute fucking failure," failure with regards to what? (assumption and guesses: with regards to your timeline progress in building a family? getting married? owning a home? having kids? travelling? perhaps going back to school? is this all exclusively about how many zeroes you are getting in your paycheck?) Please tell us OP!

I get there is a high similarity between things we all want want during comparable ages / phases of life, and I don't want a specific thing at a specific age per se, but I feel like to me it's a general dissatisfaction of the rate of progression, that seems not to go away – I also get that it's subjective, and fomo due to exposure to many things may sometimes get the best of me
