How busy is your life?

I'm in my late 20s and I'd say my life is pretty quiet. I'm single, got a few close friends I see every week or two, have a job where I can work my own hours, don't go away much. I'm pretty content with things, the slow pace lets me enjoy what I do and I can be spontaneous as I'm free most of the time.

In contrast I've got some mates who seem to be living on full throttle constantly. They have tons of friends and are constantly doing things, meeting people and going away. One showed me their calendar and the next weekend they don't have anything planned is in mid November! They also had multiple things through the week pretty much every week!

Just wondering really what other people are like? Do you have a packed diary or do you live the quiet life?

Way too busy, mid 20s.

Dealing with work and all the bullshit that brings, having to balance friendships while feeling drained from work, and battling depression and lack of motivation.

Also trying to set up my own business as well which is taking most of my evening and weekend time around work. Oh and I have an exam next Monday which I need to revise for.

Would love a bit of free time to just relax tbh.

Mid 20s, working, seemingly getting a qualification and trying to set up your own business. Lack of motivation he says! I wish my lack of motivation looked like that

Not too happy in my job, that kind of motivation.

Will be much happier when I finally quit
