How do I stop feeling like I’m missing out or not achieving enough? How do I get rid of wanting to hurry progress?

Question

Every time I see people achieving things or having a sense of stability in their education/career or personal lives I feel like I have not done anything and that I’m not doing enough. And when I see events I always feel like I’m missing out or that I’m not social enough. And when I feel like I’ve not done anything I just feel this terrible urge to do something that will convince myself that I’m progressing or doing enough, even though people around me say I’m doing enough. How do I stop feeling so uneasy and agitated so I can get some peace of mind? How do I stop feeling so unhappy with my progress and feeling like I’m not enough?
