Hello there,

I have been dealing with a mindset problems for quite some while now and would love to get your thoughts on the topic. I am 25 y/o and quite "successful" in most parts of my life. My finances are pretty good, I hit the gym 5 times a week and in general I´m quite mindful about what I do with my time.

So here´s the catch: Few years ago I move from my small town in northern Germany to Copenhagen and later to Berlin to study economics. Right now I am trying to visit family and old friends as often as possible but I somehow have problems accepting their lifestyle choices even though I obviously love those guys the way they are. I´m not talking about the monetary aspect but I kinda feel bad when friends are playing video games for 4-5 hours every day , neglecting their degree, eating junk food all day and have no Idea what to with their life in general.

Same feeling when I turn on the TV. Literally 90% of German tv programme is absolute bullshit. I love watching good movies but watching reality shows, soaps etc. for hours every day? Well there have to be millions of people to do so, otherwise it would not get aired.

OK, enough of the rant haha. I know everybody should do what he thinks is right and is fulfilling for himself but I´m still bothered by people not even using 50% of their potential. Anybody some insights how to just care less and move on?

Cheers
