    This helped me. What it says is:
    Live in day-tight compartments (focusing on the present moment and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future).

    For the longest time, my strategy was to avoid social media (Facebook, Instagram).

    It has helped a bit, but sometimes I still feel demotivated when I think about
    how far others my age have progressed.

    I know they had different starts and struggles than me. but still at the end of the
    day what matters is the outcome right?

    I cant keep complaining to my circumstances

    I want to stop this behavior. I know it's hardwired into humans but
    if I can at least reduce it it will help massively.

    Share your thoughts and ideas on how you guys overcame it?

    Dude seriously, this may be a different answer than what you'd expect but it's the best you're going to get. Eat අලගුඩුවො (Frigate Tuna) at least once a week!! Funnily enough, what you're feeling right now, the broody, mangly frustration is not the result of any of your circumstances or life progress, but a simple matter of lack of real nutrition and brain function. If you don't believe me, go and get your vitamins and fats tested, especially D and Omega 3. You'll see that it's ridiculously low.

    The simple act of going to a supermarket, buying a cut up අලගුඩුවෙක්, bringing it home and eating parboiled or something (never fry or air fry) at least once a week is going to make a massive difference bro. Of you can, do it twice. It's your loss to not try this and see. It's truly unbelievable what a high dose of Vitamin D, Omega 3, great healthy fats and quality protein does to your body and brain. You really have to try this. What's the downside? I really can't think of anything. Just take the plunge and see. Cost is laughably small but you'll see the difference it makes.

    In the long term, also make sure to eat a fruit at least once a day, and a lot of Pumpkin. Best fruits are Guavas, you'll find them dirt cheap on any supermarket. Make sure to regularly eat pumpkin, it's always the cheapest vegetable out there but the best nutrition around. Eat 2 eggs a day and cut back on short eats and all the other crap. Seriously, if you have a hankering for a snack, eat a fruit, any fruit. Even that simple change is going to make a huge difference.

    I don't know if you're married or not, but if not, and if you don't have a regular girlfriend nearby or something, try to have sex at least a month. If you can't seem to talk up a girl, at least hit a spa. Doesn't have to be penetrative sex, but you have to see a real woman naked and the skin of a woman has to rub on your dick. It's that simple. You need that dopamine hit more than you think. Best to have sex at least once a week, or every other week. Never go dry for more than a month. It wreaks your brain more than you think.

    I could have given you the same generic drivel about oh you're doing fine bla bla, but this is the advice that's actually going to make a difference. It's all in your head, and proper nutrition and brain function is what's going to make a life worth living. Try my advice and see, there's absolutely no downside, and it's so easy to follow.

    Simply follow @IndrajithGamage 's theory...
    Exactly. Try and see, no risk high reward. Ask yourself why I wouldn't put this on an AI like everyone else and copy paste the answer, instead choosing to type up the whole thing myself. It may look trivial, but simply try and see.
