White Lie

Sounds to me like you cant stop vomiting your sad backstory onto anyone wholl talk to you. I mean you dont have to say shit about the details you could literally just say oh im studying X at colleg ive got X time left looking forward to then haha. Like how fucking hard is it to spin that shit how you want, just downplay it like who really gives a fuck nibba. Get over youre inferiority complex theres plenty of fuckups worse than you who didnt even give it a second try

Honestly I try but the thing is because I'm 24 they start asking questions.
I always just say as little as possible but they begin to ask more and more questions.

You sound so much like me.

Face your shadows. Straight up admit you have a hard time with your studies. Seek student counseling.

this im behind too failed 2 of my class 2 times. Just tell people you took a gap year or some shit you wanted to work you cancelled some class. No one needs to know your backstory. Its a journey you'll get there. You have bad self esteem because you connect your self worth to college. I used to be ashamed of that too but i dont give a shit now. People who are worth a while either wont give a shit or theyll help you. It also helps weed out the snake who listen to bullshit advice like you become the company you keep (which is completely not true). Anyway hang in there

Tell them, and be confident. I'm in the same position, 24 and probably still 1-2 years from finishing undergrad. In high school I was moved up, highest ACT score in a decade for that school, etc.
On dates, I said I had personal stuff early on so I needed to take a couple years off (true), numerous major switches (true) and I could only go half time because of finances (half true), but am confident in the path I'm taking now (true).
It sucks, and you're right that it scares a lot of girls off. The most important thing is to be happy and confident so girls don't think they'll have to mother or take care of you. If they aren't smart or kind enough give you a chance, they're not worth it.
It took a long time, but I'm now in a relationship with someone my age who'll get their law degree before I even get my bachelor's. It took many many tries to find someone who I'm happy with and who's happy with me.

In short, be honest about who you are and where you're at. But be happy and confident about it, don't self deprecate. If you need to, fake it until you make it.

Thanks for the support fellow fuck ups. It feels good knowing you're out there too.
Perhaps the problem is my self deprecating humour has now becine actually tragic as opposed to funny.
I'll try just be more up front confident.
