How do I know who I am? I think I have no personality

I don't have a profession, a passion, I dropped out of UNI and am now unemployed 24yo

I don't even know if I'm extroverted or introverted because I've had the evidence for both

I don't know if I'm stupid or intelligent

I don't know what my strenghts and weaknesses are

>be me
>smoking weed since 14
>have a C average highschool grades (I aced all my tests and exams but I never handed anything in)
>have 8 failed college classes, ( I was a stoner and I never did any work)
>get cleaned from weed
>going back to community college this september.

Since I am clean I intend on embracing school and getting good grades and I want to transfer to a 4 year university and get a math or a compsci degree.

However I am worried that those 8 failed classes will forever bar me from getting accepted to a university.

I don't know what to do.

I like math and I would be interested in getting a math degree for bsc/msc but I don't want to fall for a meme degree.

There is a girl who I had a relationship with a couple of years back, which ended on a bad note of her moving to another city and me not wanting a long distance relationship but to stay friends resulting in her to stop talking to me. Though after meeting other people I now feel like she was the only perfect person for me. By chance I found out that she has a small YouTube channel, with the few comments being people I've meet and now have an awkward past with. The point being should I leave a comment or just a like on her video in hopes of her responding or would that be the wrong way to aproach and come off as very creepy. Also the fact that some of the people who watch her videos are people that i know makes me even more nervous

tl;dr How do I get more matches on tinder?

"The catfish cuckxperiment"

INTRO / RANT:
So I spent the past (alarmingly long) 3 days creating ;a fake catfish tinder profile with;a random guy's profile pics,;and with the help of;a small book;a friend gifted me from Ireland (yes my friends literally;are;aware of my cuckness), used copy pasta'd cheezy;ass pickup lines on these girls (this just keeps getting even more sad),;and to my surprise,;actually worked. Keep in mind I live in;a very religious;and conservative Muslim country where 91% (that figure was copy pasta'd from the w.h.o btw) of women;are genitally mutilated.

Catcuckresults:

The results of the experiment was is I got 16+ matches (more matched since I posted images);and 2 girls to hook up with in 2 days (only started swiping the day;after I created the;acc).

El Pregunto:

According to most of my friends,;and even some of my friend-zoned / lesbian friends (a lot of the female friends I have;are lesbian or call me their brother), I don't look that bad, I don't look like where I'm from (the middle east) since I'm white;and don't have;any;arab heritage (my family is;american;and European, I was just born here);and I'm;a pretty funny guy. I'm into shock, dark,;and satire humor;and I have confidence in saying I wouldn't bore people if I was to get into my life story / have;a deep conversation with them. So 4choon: What do I do to increase my chances?

To start this post off
I used to be depressed, however after taking the usual anti-depressant it seems to have gone away. The reason for my depression is for the usual reasons you know loneliness and all that other stuff. I no longer feel depressed, but for some reason I think of suicide sometimes; I feel as if i'm also extremely socially inadequate compared to my siblings.
It's literally just one more year until I can leave my family, and that's all I want to do; leave the people who are suppose to support me and help me through tough times..Instead they bully me and bring up stuff that happened YEARS AGO because my parents failed to teach me literally anything. I don't remember my father ever showing me how to do anything, shooting guns/fixing cars and God forbid I don't even remember him or my mother teaching me how to properly use the restroom; I had to figure that on my own... I also should add that I "used" to have autism, the doctors now think I may have outgrown it; AFTER YEARS of people berating me for it..I can't believe it can be gone in just a few weeks if I do another test.
/adv/ I have one year until I'm legally allowed to leave my house, I've always thought about joining the military to escape from my family. I'm in America btw and I'm currently looking into the French Foreign Legion, I know it'll be tough but I'm already pretty fit the only thing I need to change is my diet.
I guess what I'm asking for is advice on how to just get through this one last year until I leave my family for good; btw I want to be independent unlike some of my siblings who have literally stated they want to mooch off my parents until they die.
So what things should I do to prepare myself before I leave, should I spend a week in the woods by myself or even hike the Appalachian trail all by myself to test how I can do on my own? Also you can probably tell Grammar is not my strong suit, I'm sorry about that.

Why do I keep having nights where I can't fall asleep?

So far I've had troubles falling asleep from December through to late May.
Then I ended up staying awake for 3 days and my sleeping got better (falling asleep at around 1-2am which is okay for me)

Now I'm currently falling asleep at around 2-4am, with the added issue of some nights I just can't fall asleep entirely.

It's 5am at the moment and I've been laying in bed since 11pm.
I am tired and wide awake simultaneously.
This is the 3rd time this has happened this month.

What usually happens is I fall asleep at 12 to 1pm anyway for about an hour or two, then I will fall asleep at a reasonable time like 11-12pm.

I have deeply personal and hidden issues with anxiety and worry. No doubt that's playing a major part, but I can't do anything about my situation other than wait it out. I can't tell anybody either.

I can't get drugs from the doctor for my sleep issues either because I'm going into the armed forces and they wouldn't let me in with something like that on my medical record so near to joining.

I feel truly hopeless, unmotivated and depressed.

So, I think my best friend is getting tired of me. We've been friends for nearly 8 years. Yeah, we've had our ups and downs but the bond has always remained pretty strong. However, I've noticed that she seems less patient or excited when she hangs around me.
Both of us have mental illnesses; she's bipolar and has anxiety, while I have anxiety and depression (major depressive disorder to be specific). Recently, she admitted that I'm kind of a drag to be around sometimes. I have a tendency to get quiet or space out when I'm with friends; sometimes it's because I'm just daydreaming, other times it's a little more serious. But it's never a reflection of them or because I'm having a bad time. It's just the way I am. We talked about this and I told her that I'll promise to be a better friend and manage my symptoms around her. She had a really bad temper when we were in high school (she would rip and break stuff and get into arguments with her parents, teachers, etc.) and I felt she'd understand.
But ever since then, she seems to have ZERO tolerance for anything I do that's not normal. The moment I get quiet she'll tell me to "quit doing that thing". So I feel pressured to not show any negative emotion around her now.
Just right now, we were planning a girls' night out with another friend when I started feeling an anxiety attack coming on. I didn't want to run the risk of ruining their fun so I decided to stay in. When I tried explaining this to her, she hung up on me. I explained myself in the group chat and she went off on me.
So now I feel even worse than before. I hate pissing off people, especially those I am close to. I don't know how long she'll be mad or how to make up for it, other than offering to meet up next weekend.
Any advice?

Hey anons, under the same username that I still use now 7 years ago I was an idiot 17 year old autist and still learning but I searched my username recently and even though its on the backpages of google my mistakes, the words that I have said are still there.

I just feel like strangling my past self because now I see how idiotic I was back then, I was desperate for approval due to my low self-esteem and now remembering that part did happen in my life for the world to see is upsetting because I know how wrong/how rude I appeared back then now when I read it now.

Anyone have tips for keeping college loan costs down? My father died and has no inheritance, so I'm left with nothing to help my mother and I. I already know about the Community College for 2 years or however long to take the basic courses, and FAFSA, but I'm afraid I might still have high debts when this is all said and done.

I come to a crossroads in life, where I have to make a decision between taking a menial job that will keep bills paid while I continue to wallow in self-pity, or somehow managing to snap out of it and fudge what little I have achieved into a career that leads me to being literal POTUS.
But as I find myself phasing out my last obsessive interest in place of another one as I had throughout childhood without having actually learned Japanese or whatever the goal was with the last one, I find myself content in being miserable and can't even see the first step to success through all the self-pity.
I'm pretty sure this low road is what every miserable human being takes, but voices within me as well as around me can't be satisfied with this. But there's too much static for me to focus on anything in particular.
At this point I'm probably describing a literal mental disorder, but maybe you lot would have some advice on how to at least achieve a simple thing like take a woman I see to bed without first being distracted by a butterfly every time I try to approach and talk to them.
