How do I make up for all the years I've lost? I'm 20 and never went to highschool and recently it's been starting to hit me pretty fucking tremendously how far behind I am in life. It's now a constant fear that increases daily. I'm pretty fucking scared desu. I've been working a $7.50 job for a distant relative's business for about 14 months now. I feel like I've literally wasted all of that time because I'm not progressing in anything at all and he will never fire me unless I do something really fucked up because I guess he feels sorry for me or something. I don't think I can quit even though I want to because it would really fuck up the financial situation with my mother & sister whom I live with. It just feels so impossible trying to do GED stuff because I'm gassed when I come home from work after 10 hours.
I feel like I should be on my own in college right now acing my courses, meeting friends, getting laid, life experiences, part time job, etc but instead I don't have friends, no highschool education, no driver's license, holy fuck. I really cringe typing some of this but I have no clue where to start. Would give more details but don't want to make this shit too long. Just ask

Have you talked to your distant relative and your mother/sister about this?
Also, going through college just for the sake of it is going to be really hard, trust me. The friends and fuck buddies are also not included.

Get a GED my dude and then fuck off to college. Make friends. go to class. Be someone. Thats all I can suggest.

Just take the GED test, you don't need to study for it. If you fail, then it's just some money down the drain and you'll have a better idea of what to expect next time. After that, go learn a trade and make bank. You'll be fine.

Holy shit, kid. You're 20 years old. You're not even an adult yet. You have literally your entire life to get things started. Just start doing shit, dude. Come back when you're 26, then what you're describing would actually be a problem.
OP have you ever sat down and just gone
>Who gives a fuck?
I use to go paragraphs and paragraphs giving people advice as they went in circles and had dumbass idea after dumbass idea about a perceived "problem "
But really that simple phrase is all that's needed.
Just get a ged or some shit. Do you even want money? Like actually ? Not even trying to shit you here.
And then the rest of your post is moaning about some fake idealized version of how a "normal" person progresses through life and how your life doesn't match that pedestal.
