I'm really struggling to find out what exactly am I good at. It's immensely difficult to have a clear picture of what I want to study or have as a career for that matter. I'm 21 currently and the feeling of not being capable of doing or achieving anything is strongly present. After graduating from High School , I applied for a Liberal arts and sciences bachelor course in Germany but failed to pass the interview cause I'm a anxious fuck. After that I spent one year in Denmark, in a Academy , studying Multimedia design. Honestly, I have no idea why I did that , I did a poor job at researching the course and quit after a year. Coding/programming is one if the things I never want to desl with. Th only thing that I think that I want to study is Psychology or anything related to it. Sometimes it's not that hard imagining me as a therapist. The only problem is that my school grades were average/above average at best. Therefore, I won't get accepted to Germany and have already failed to apply in the Nethetlands. As probably evident , I want to study abroad and leave my plb country. Since last year I've bren working as a customer support representative. Help an anon out fellas.

I've struggled with this as well, my psychiatrist had an excellent angle, the man was 67, been a professor and he had a humorous perspective on it: 'I still don't know what I want'.
My psychologist told me that he would have been equally happy as a mechanic.
Just try whatever appeals to you, if you hate it, be quick to move on to the next thing until something sticks and just roll with it until there is no juice in it anymore.
I didn't like this whimsical perspective at first but if you turn it into a huge deal you will stifle yourself and push yourself into misery and discontentment.
I don't think you'll enjoy much opportunities in psychology unless you go full psychiatrist.
The field is over-saturated as is so you will likely end up in marketing or in some managerial position at best.

That's one of the things thaf kinda puts me off psychology. I was thinking of going into the forensic psychology field (presumably it won't be that over saturated) , but I'm unable to really find any taught in English (in Europe, besides the UK) . I'm considering going to Germany for the summer to live with my friend and apply for a language course of some sort , so I can hopefully learn German which is one of the things I've always wanted to do. Maybe it will give me some clarity on to what to do in the future.

What do you find yourself doing in your free time? I left a liberal arts program when I was 20 or so because I didn't know what I wanted and was miserable. I decided to return to school this year (im 27 now) because I've found I'm passionate about history. So that's what I'm studying.

if u dont know what u want to major in then just pick the highest paying degree. it wont disappoint you. unless you value kicking your socks on the table after work u can kiss that goodbye.
