Does anyone here ever experienced the fear of missing out on everything? because evrytime i look at my peers i feel like they are way ahead of me and they have all the answersthey need, while i'm still trying to figure out what to do with my life and i'm not happy at all.

yes I do. I am constantly comparing myself to other . What I found helped was stepping away from social media and focusing on how far I have grown and how I am trying my best even though it may not feel like it . I still struggle with belonging and comparing myself to others but it’s still a learning process for me in believing I belong. It took me a long time to figure out what I want to do while some of my peers are accomplishing the things that I dream of , that was hard for me . Overall though I just keep reminding myself that I am trying MY best and that those people have not gone through my life or experiences . 

As another member in this group (Rupert brown) said and thier words really stuck with is “For me it was about shifting the focus back to myself. Instead of being angry and frustrated and sad all the time because others appeared to be so much better off, I started to focus more on the things I could do to improve my lot in life. "All these guys are bigger and better looking than me." Okay, time to start eating smarter and working out. "Those people have more money/nicer things than me." All right, I'll start saving money and being smarter about how I spend what I have. "Why is everyone else more interesting than me?" I'll embrace the interests and talents I do have and engage with people who have similar ones. There are always going to be people who seem to have more going for them than we do. But by turning that envy around we can end up in a better place.And just remember: if the grass seems greener on the other side, its usually because its fertilized with bulls#!t. People are great at pretending to be more than they really are. And often those who we are jealous of aren't doing nearly as well as they seem.”

If you're an introvert (which I don't know if you are) that's pretty normal.
