That's not "Life" and living, that's just existing. You cannot compare yourself with other people because you cannot be in their lives, cannot even see into their lives very well and have no way to put your "self"/personality and experiences into their life or their "self"/personality and experiences into your life.
It could be, for you, a waste (I won't say "obvious", if only because I'm stubborn :-) of time and emotional energy, only you can decide that but I ask, what else are you using your emotional energy on? I want to use my emotional energy to connect to my Life and other people, not to keep everything "stable" and try to hold the status quo, which we cannot do as, as you point out, life goes on. You cannot stand still and using emotional energy to try to hold things so they seem "okay" is, to me
a horrible waste of time and emotional energy.
