Constantly Comparing Yourself To Your Peers

症状九:常常与同龄人比较

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岁综合症的人会常常与同龄人去比较,造成的后果就是感到自己什么事都没搞定(参见症状一)。

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.

你也许会上脸谱网去看看过去的朋友和敌人现在都过得怎么样了,有谁混得好了,有谁混不下去了。

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

无论结果如何,都不会改善你对自己的看法。

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

有时候,承认自己所处的位置,不要因此而羞愧。

You're doing the best you can。

你就已经做到了最好。
