I am the underachiever among all my friends

And it sucks. I am so ashamed of my life.

Your true friends don’t care.

What are the dynamics?

Are you a good person? Treat others the way you want to be treated? Do you try to spread kindness and help others? Those are the things that matter and the best part is if you aren’t actively doing these things, it’s never too late to start.

+1.

I am too. My friends and sisters are doing very well on their careers. I took time off so playing catch up. And I probably will never catch up.

It does not matter one bit.

10-15% hit it big, 10% never get off the ground, and 75-80% have varying amounts of successes and failures. I know plenty of top MBA graduates who aren't sitting in the c-suite. So stop thinking you're a loser.

Explain you situation and we can probably put it in better context for you.
And where do you want to be?

I have a friend who could have written this because she hasn't prioritized her career in the same way most of us in the group have and she is a downer by nature. But she should know we love her for her many talents, and admire her for where she chooses to put her focus, and we don't care if she works PT or at all.

If you're her go easy on yourself.

Someone has to be at the bottom

Who cares? Accept your lot in life and be grateful for what you have and what you’ve achieved.

"She is a downer by nature"
Seriously?

Me too and I was the over achiever when younger. My friends don’t care. I am disappointed in myself however.

I am in the 10% who never got off the ground.

I was a "gifted" kid who had a lot of potentials But undiagnosed ADHD did me in, I did not advance like many of my friends.

I'm reinventing myself in my 40s now that I am aware and medicated. I'm never going to earn big money, but I'm proud of what I do. How old are you, op? Can you figure out what you want and what you need? Also, what does success mean to you?
