Your path is different than them. Although it is natural to feel behind, I feel you are more ahead because you know what you want to do. Most people don't even have that ability. You know your interest, which is medicine, and it's admirable that you've put in efforts towards it even when ur conditions aren't optimal. Life will keep moving. And you can in no way look at people's life and use that as a gauge for your life. They are not you. They don't have the same interests as u. They haven't been through stuff like you. They don't think like you. They are not you. Just keep faith in yourself and keep going and things will work out better than you would ever expect. <3

If you are sure that you want to pursue medicine, give it your all and try again. But it would be a good idea to think about if that is really what you want because most of our desires aren’t really ours. Just taking some time to contemplate that might help. As for feeling behind in life, it is something everybody goes through, no matter where you are at. I started my PhD when I was 22, being the youngest in my batch and 2 years later I am so behind my batchmates in terms of research progress. So we just need to realise that there is no place that we “are supposed to be in”. Also, life does not always go according to our plans. We just have to hold hope that life’s plan is better than ours. Sending love and hugs.
