Everyone else does between 15 and 19

No they don't. It just looks like it. At 30 the things they found important at 18 aren't important anymore. Priorities shift.

Everyone else is getting married at 23

I literally know no-one that was married at 23.

At 30 I’ll still be trying to move out

Just like a lot of people of this generation. They are fucked by housing prices.

So you're not alone in this. I think most people are in a similar situation. Try to find people that can support and help you. Just don't give up, you never know what happens tomorrow.
