Confusing 20s

- Everyone's path diverges, leading to comparisons and anxieties about an undefined 'right' track.

- Social media amplifies comparison in your 20s by showcasing everyone's highlight reel.
- It creates an illusion of others having perfect lives, making you feel inferior.

- This approach combats the paradox of choice and allows for gradual transformation.
