Dude, frankly speaking, you gotta chill and take things as they come – i mean seriously, what do you want anyway? To be this almighty, well-admired, self-contained and successful person? In your head, you are living in anticipated futures, planning for the future is great but not at the cost of present balance – sure you feel jealous but stop this desire to control everything and be someone else. Everyone is different and you have to accept that the road you walk is your own, your very own and no one has it entirely perfect and easy – we all have our internal battles. To some who dont know these sides of you, you could appear to be this uber confident guy who will get it all but truth be said, do you actually feel that way? Therefore, my advice would be to get out of your self-consciousness and learn to have some fun in life too. If you take it way too seriously, the best in you will be buried under this mountain of depression, anxiety and jealousy. And for chrissake, society and well-respected? I mean you’re 28, there is more to life than trying to gain the approval of others only. You have to live for you, not for them.
