If I'm falling behind does it really mean I am ?

I seem to think I've done other things that everyone else has done but at different stages.

18 (not 16) - left school
21 (not 17) - started working (voluntarily)
22 - started uni instead of leaving at 22
25 - started experience of travel abroad as an adult
26 - started working in my first part time paid job
28 (not 17) - passed my driving test/driving first car

I feel good and quite satisfied that I've done these things but I still get feelings of falling behind because I'm seeing people now getting married, having kids, and working more hours than me despite still not being both mentally and physically ready for it and feel quite bad as though by now I should be working full time but I do more hours despite being in a part time job.

I also didn't get my license until 28, although I started uni at 17.
