If you feel pressured seeing people at your age accomplishing things, and reaching their goals, know that it's normal. I got where you are coming from, for we are no longer young—we are all getting old. Whether we like it or not, we are heading there. But what gives us fear? Being on that phase and we still see ourselves as a "nobody", because we compare our journey on other's track and pace.
But keep in mind that entering the gates of adulthood doesn't require us to achieve something grand and big. No one would halt your way asking for the list of things you must have gained. You have this share of successes, too. You've had achieved littlest of your dreams prior to being here; that's something to be admired of. People are clueless how you faced life's chaos and storms before setting your feet on this time of your life; why don't you acknowledge that very thing, too? You still being here despite the hardships is the proof of that achievement.
Remember that we have moments where in we were so messed up, but look—we've managed to be here now. And for me, that's the biggest success we all have.
