I am about a month or two in and I am getting envious of people hanging out with their friends or bf/gf when I do see their Instagram stories or to do stuff on weekends. I think it may be because nowadays I am mostly catching up on my studies during the weekends but truth to be told I ain't a very social person to begin with.

I am wondering if these are the same sentiments among the people in the same industry due to the work hours and how to combat it if that is the case.

As of now, I am just "psycho-ing" myself that I am working hard now to earn good money in the future and retire early whereas most of them I am envy of are likely to be stuck in the cycle of working for money for their rest of life. Further, not many at early 20s would eventually stable down with their current partners or the people they go out with. Wondering if I should get help...
