Constantly Comparing Yourself To Your Peers

癥狀九：常常與同齡人比較

The pre-30 crisis feeds on comparison to others of the same age, and it can lead to a constant nagging feeling that your life doesn't measure up.

30歲綜合癥的人會常常與同齡人去比較，造成的后果就是感到自己什么事都沒搞定(參見癥狀一)。

You may be going on Facebook to check up on former friends and enemies to see who has their adult like“together”-- and who doesn't.

你也許會上臉譜網去看看過去的朋友和敵人現在都過得怎么樣了，有誰混得好了，有誰混不下去了。

But of course, in the end, neither outcome will make you feel better about your own situation. Sometimes.

Admit where you are, and refuse to be ashamed of it.

有時候，承認自己所處的位置，不要因此而羞愧。

You're doing the best you can。

你就已經做到了最好。
