I (24F) feel like I’ve literally accomplished nothing. I never finished college, I have a job but I’m not making nearly enough money to do anything with it. I obviously want to do better and find a path for myself, but I genuinely don’t even know what I want to do.
I also feel like I’ve made no real connections with anyone in my life, like I have friends/family but I just feel like a side character a lot and that everyone just thinks I’m doing fine just because I never say anything. Even when I do open up about some things, it’s kind of just brushed under the rug because everyone just assumes I’m going to be good. My family life is kind of a wreck, so it’s hard to have a feeling of comfort when thinking about that part of things. I’m in a relationship, but sometimes I feel like I’m a little bit stuck in that as well, I dont have the urge to get married or start a family, and we just argue a lot.
I don’t know if I’m stuck in a pit right now where I’m just feeling lost, or if this is just how things are going to be for me. I really really want to improve and be happy, but I just feel like odds have been against me for a long time. I don’t really know what to do at this point to make things better, or even just start to feel like I’m doing something worthwhile. Is this a normal feeling to have at this point of my life, or am I doing something wrong?

Hiii! I’m 25 and also suck. I have a boyfriend, a baby, and a home but I was a college dropout. Im in debt to my eyes from school, medical issues, buying my home. I struggle with this as well. I want to go back to school but not sure what to even go for. I hate my job but can’t afford the paycut. I feel constantly stuck in this cycle of work to pay bills and pay bills lol. I have one great friend and that’s all. My little sister is going for her masters right now so I struggle feeling like the failure of the family (I’m the only one without a degree). Therapy is helping with all of the above but it’s still nagging. I can’t over advice, but know you aren’t the only one stuck.
You’re not failing, you’re just in the middle of figuring it out. Feeling lost at 24 isn’t failure, it’s human. You’re allowed to take your time.
