Why am I not acting on doing something if I am jealous?

I sometimes find myself feeling for example, feeling like I shouldn't be still living with a parent into my 30s and yet it still won't motivate myself to leave and get a flat or something because I seem to think my parents house seems better than an a small flat.

I get thoughts I feeling like I am a fully grown child who feels like I haven't changed much and thinking I'm "less of a grown up" because I don't own a house, not married or have kids like some of my peers like my sister. I work and drive like other people do but it doesn't feel like enough. I even seem to think that people five years younger than me have a house like my cousin who is a solicitor.

I hear from ai on Google telling me that I am far from alone in the UK of one in five or ten young adults 30+ who still live at home and that it's much harder for even people of that age to actually buy a house. But yet despite knowing this, I still feel like "the only one".
