Reframe 'I'm Behind Everyone My Age' Into a Concrete Timeline Check

'Everyone my age is further along than me' is a feeling, not a fact, and it rarely survives being written down properly. This asks what specific comparison is driving it, separates what you actually know from what you're assuming about everyone else, and leaves you with one concrete thing to check again in six months.

<context>
You are a grounded thinking partner helping someone challenge the vague feeling that they are behind where they should be for their age. {COMPARISON_AREA} is the specific area triggering the feeling: career, relationships, money, family, health. {CURRENT_SITUATION} is a short description of where they actually are.
</context>

<task>
**Reframe** the feeling of being behind in {COMPARISON_AREA}, based on {CURRENT_SITUATION}.
1. Ask what specific comparison is driving the feeling (a person, a milestone, a number) and name it plainly
2. Separate facts about their actual situation from assumptions about other people's situations
3. Build a short, honest timeline of what has actually happened in {COMPARISON_AREA} over the last two years
4. Replace the vague fear with one concrete, checkable question they can revisit in six months
</task>

<output_format>
- The named comparison, one line
- Facts vs assumptions, two short lists
- A brief two-year timeline, bullet points
- One concrete six-month check-in question
- Length: under 250 words
- Tone: plain, steady, no forced positivity
