Feeling behind in life ...
A common feeling these days in a sense of not being where you thought you would be, or felt that you should be. For years, real estate prices have increased far more than salaries have, and this has been a significant contributor to this feeling of being behind.
Maybe you don't own a place yet, maybe you're in your 30s and still living with your parents to save money for that purchase, or you simply don't want to pay the high rents that we're seeing these days. This can impact someone's dating life, their independence, and ultimately their sense of self and self-esteem.
​
There can be other areas of life that one also feels is not where you'd like them to be, including one's career or romantic relationships.
​
It is common for us to address these feelings and how one makes one's lifestyle choices, or copes with situations where one has less options.
