My cousin just handed me a wedding invitation. He's 1,5 year older than me, I remember when we used to run through the woods with swords and bows and make silly movies together.
What's funny, the invitation reads "Anon with an accompanying person".

Sad! He always was more down to earth and life- and street-smart than me, while I was more academically and metaphysically inclined. I'm finishing uni right now and never had a job or gf (I have some moniez though), while he got a contract in Africa lending him 15k dollars for a month of work, a fortune for my country's standards.

Is there a lesson to draw from his story? Ok, I know there is: I should seize the opportunities life presents me with. But I feel I'm so late to the party. The success of my peers discourages me.

I feel like I took all the wrong paths in life. I went to uni to get a good degree instead of focusing on working. I didn't move out of home so that I can socialise more with fellow students and lose virginity in college. I feel that my peers have an edge over me.

Two of my friends got girlfriends - even though they used to be a lot weirder and more nerdy than me - and hold good jobs while studying something less important on the side. Meanwhile I'm single and focused on my studies. Also I'm only just doing my driving licence.

I don't know what to make of this all. Should I tell those things to my therapist?

Sounds to me like you made the right choices. You'll be much wealthier than all of these people. Are you studying medical?

I wish I did what you're doing

I did the same as OP and guess what? I failed to develop the normal social skills required to be successful, now I'm still an unsuccessful loser.

Some of your peers are gonna be faster to jump the gun than you, so what?

Just keep going through the motions and it will happen eventually.

You can't compare yourself to them at this point. You chose an end-game build while they went for mid- or even early-game ones. You're still laying out the foundation. You'll have better opportunities in the future.

That's not to say that there's nothing to take out of it. Perhaps you know yourself that you're not taking all the chances presented to you, or that you're not trying as much as you should on other aspects of your life that you're unhappy about. Those things should be disregarded, but it's no reason for you to doubt all of your choices.

This is stupid either
A. start doing the things needed to get what you want. Be is girls, $ or whatever.
B. Be happy with what you have.

No right/wrong way to live but there are right/wrong ways to get to your goals.

Be honest with yourself about what you want then go after it.

You will always fail if you compare yourself to others. I graduated from college. I have friends that are light years ahead of me career wise, some even been on the national spotlight once or twice. I have another I just found out he got another girl pregnant, despite having a 7-11 tier job and already has a 4 year old kid with a other girl. And another is in legal trouble for DUI, just got fired. People always go down different road, despite starting in the same spot. And also, you're not the first person to ever feel nervous or embarrassed someone else is getting married. Its perfectly natural, to look back at your life like 'damn he's getting married, what am I doin". Try to cheer up m8. Go to the wedding and be happy for him. You will get yours.
