I'm completely dazed you guys. I feel lost in the stream of life.
I'm a 22 years old male who basically failed everything. I used to be anorexic in highschool, evidently I didn't focus on work and I was just an awkward mess all along. I still don't know what to do, having failed all the prospects I had (missed both tries for med studies).
I'm currently studying to be a nurse, a job in a field I have absolutely no will to work in anymore. It's a dead end occupation with no prospects, exceptionally so in France, I mainly picked that field out of desperation and fear of not having something to fall back on. But I keep on losing my time since I'm 18.
A thread came up some time ago where a guy on /pol/ claimed that he finished his studies and started working in an engineer firm at 30, where his coworkers were 5 years younger than him and he hated it.
I had a sort of depression after failing in the first field I initially picked, which lasted long enough to fuck me up: lost contact with everyone, got isolated even more. I lost a large amount of time and, consequently, opportunities; now that I have enough courage to get up and do something, I feel like it's already too late and so far behind everyone else because I'd start anew, at the ripe age of 22.
How do I deal with this? It's not bothering me as much as I'd like it to, I never felt more peaceful since I left all my former accointances. But I want now more than ever to get a good career and embrace life. It just feels like I'm denied all of this.
I'm in the same boat. Went to university for Business Information Systems, asked my self why I was actually going. Now I just work a part-time job Fri-Sun and have Mon-Thu off for nothing. Trying to find my way. Don't feel bad about "the race" because life is not the same for everyone.
Also, society suggests you do certain things, but ultimately it's your choice. Just make sure you have a place to sleep and food to eat.
