Career disappointment

Hi all,

This is the first time I posting on reddit. I feel like there is no other way to go about what’s going in my head than to talk about it here.

I am 28 years old and I feel very disappointed in who I am.

I screwed up a lot all my life- making bad choices/ stupid decisions- which has led me to my current state.

I am a Program Manager in a mid decent company earning a very basic salary(12.5 LPA).

Idk I don’t know how to be great (In my definition of the word). I always knew I had potential - but never really knew what path to take.

I wanted to buy my dream car, Travel the world and just earn enough to not feel like I need to compromise.

I see my old schoolmates/other people who panned their lives well are kinda winning- being great. Working at good companies, earning well.

I don’t have a good connection with my parents, the girl who I thought was the love of my life - cheated on me and my career as you can see isn’t inspiring.

I feel like it’s too late to change my path and fix the things.

I don’t know how to accept that life will just be ordinary for me.

Are there more people out there who feel this way? How do you manage it?

Knowing you’ll be like this? Is there any other way?
