To be so preoccupied with how things “should” be that I am forgetting to live??

I live my life worrying about shoulds. That my time on holiday “should” be spent doing more adventurous things, that I “should” be going out to bars and clubs more because I’m only 25, that me and my boyfriend “should” be having sex each morning, that I “should” be feeling happier all the time etc. I guess I see a lot of videos and content on what other people are doing as well, or other couples.

it’s really hard to explain but how do I stop worrying about what I should be doing and just live?

Do you want to do those things or just feel you ought to want to do them?

Spend less time watching what others do and more time just being and figuring out what you want
