Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Do you ever feel demoralized when you realize you’re the oldest person in your area? (lemmygrad.ml)

I know you shouldn’t compare yourself to others, but hearing about people younger than you who are ahead in some areas hurts deeply

Holding on to expectations about a certain path that your life is "supposed" to take and comparing yourself with others according to that metric is a recipe for unhappiness. Life does not proceed according to a pre-defined path and there is no check-list that you are obliged to fulfill by this or that age. You are not playing a game, advancing from level to level, passing check-points and accruing score.
