If so, do you feel left out?

From an extrinsic point of view, time in the universe does not 'flow'. All of spacetime was created all at once in the instant of the inflationary era.
Only intrinsic points of view see time as 'flowing'.
So it is true that the past, present, and future are written in stone.

If you take the position that eternity is timeless, then it is not that all time happens simultaneously. Rather, it is a reality that cannot even be discussed because the tenses of verbs presuppose time. One simply cannot use verbs to speak about a timeless reality. For example, you cannot use the phrase "before time began." This suggests that there was a time when there was no time. Obviously, this is a logical contradiction.

time can only happen simultaneously after the end of time, ironically enough.

time is not happening simultaenously with itself its a type of measurement, it is considered a constant by most meaning it flows as a singular rate of speed always. all time is not happening at the same time, its like a ruler, you start at one end and go to the other.

In those terms, yes, and the beginning is still happening.

There is nothing new under the sun.
All things that are to be have already been. There is only NOW.
