Do you get jealous of your friends/family progressing in life?

Question

When my friends get engaged, married, or pregnant I get kind of engaged because I feel like I'm lagging behind.

Answer

? I'm last of my group to not get married or have kids yet 
​Sometimes I feel left behind but glad I never settled as alot of them are so unhappy in life where I'm happy where I'm at

Answer

For me it's not a jealousy thing. I am so happy for all of our friends engagements, marriages, or having children. For me it is just something I want so badly. I just can't wait to marry my guy and start a family together! I do get sad because we aren't engaged yet but I know it will come in time. It is hard to wait though!

Answer

sometimes. I'm glad I'm not engaged or pregnant because me and my bf are putting all of that on hold. I'm just trying to enjoy life for now.

Answer

My best friend just had a baby and my other best friend is engaged. I'm 20 and they are both 19. I totally feel like my life is lagging behind others. But it's hard to find friends my age that don't want to rush life and just want to live it.

Answer

I was one of the first of my friends to be married, but I'm still childless 6 years later... Most of my friends have 2-5 kids now and I'm waiting until we are financially ready and until we have the space... I've had baby fever for the past 3 years or so... It's been very VERY hard not to feel behind. It's difficult because Facebook just rubs it in your face! I try not to be bugged by it, but ultimately I will be sad about three days before each period because I feel like every month we don't try I'm falling farther and farther behind... But we aren't ready and we are living our lives and shouldn't be so influenced by our peers... It's so hard though... So hard...
