Does anyone also feel like they should stay extra hours at work or feel bad if leave on the time and others are still there?
I don't have a shift sheet to feel or any control of my arrivals/departure at work. My bosses told me I'm doing 9am to 6pm and that they want us to have a life outside work. It's not the office culture to do extra but I'm always the first one to leave at 6pm on the dot.
I feel bad about going home at 6pm even if I finished everything for the day or if there isn't any urgency that can be postponed.
Also I am one of the first people to arrive everyday at 9 while they are usually late.
Does anyone feel like that also? Should I ask them for feedback/how to do that without sounding suspicious and guilty or insecure?
Can it be a bad thing to leave on time, career wise?

Asking "does anybody feel that also" is off-topic. You should focus on an actionable question with a goal, like how/if to ask for feedback on that or if there are any downsides to leaving on time. (That is, I suggest you remove the off-topic questions and leave the on-topic you have and perhaps enhance it)

Does anyone also feel like they should stay extra hours at work or
feel bad if leave on the time and others are still there?
When I first started my professional career, I used to feel that way.
I was in a carpool, and had to leave in order to get a ride home. Most of my co-workers were still working.
Eventually, I learned not to measure myself based on what others do or don't do.
That said, after a few years I decided I wanted to get ahead quicker. I stopped using the carpool I put more effort into work and typically stayed later. Further on in my career I always got in early, stayed late, and often worked extra from home. I enjoyed my work a lot.
Over my career I averaged a 50+ hour week. In the early years it was less. In the later years, more.
I wouldn't suggest that everyone needs to do that. But it worked out great for me.
We each need to find our own way, without regard to what others do.
