Started Over at 27—Now I'm Struggling at Work! 😩

Hey everyone, I’m 27 and just started my first real job after years of setbacks. I’m six years behind my peers because of some tough family issues and honestly, some bad choices in my early 20s. Now, I feel like everyone at work is younger but way ahead of me, and it’s really getting to me. Every day, I worry I’m not catching up fast enough. I struggle with office politics, and sometimes I feel invisible in meetings. It’s hard not to compare myself to others who seem so confident and established. I want to do better, but I’m not sure how to break out of this rut. Has anyone else been in my shoes? How did you deal with feeling so far behind? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement. Thanks for listening. Wishing you all a great year ahead! 🎉 #CareerRestart #WorkplaceStruggles #NeedAdvice #JobCareer #Career
