36 and still feeling like I did when I was 17.

Yes, but only if you read and apply the insights.
Keeping the book under your pillow and hoping
for magical transformations won't work.
 
I tend to compare my life to other people’s lives. Even when I was a little boy, I wondered why someone else had something I didn’t have. It got worse as a teenager when I saw other guys who were getting to interact with the girls.
 
Do you live with your parents still, Markness? I recall you said this somewhere, but I could be wrong?

Living with one's parents can make a person feel a lot younger than if they achieve independence by living on their own or with other adults.

I appreciate with the economic climate that we live in, not everybody is able to do this quickly, or in some cases at all.

This could be a reason for feeling like a perpetual teenager, especially if you still live in your childhood bedroom. In any case, living with ones parents usually makes a person forgo a certain amount of freedom in some respects, i.e, privacy can be an issue, especially in the realm of dating and such.

My childhood bedroom is three houses in the past for me. The house I live in now has actually been the longest one I’ve lived in.
