It's okay, I literally went through the same thing , I felt like shit I didnt have anything I wanted to eat , I don't have a job , a car , or a friend but you know what I did I started to think about what I did have and how alot of people dont have anything to eat , have friends but can't trust them , a car but it's not working etc I started to think about what I did have it it made me feel better if you focus on what you dont have you are gonna keep falling in that path of not having what you dont have but if you focus on what you do have you will start to get more I promise you will get thru this 💚💚💛

i’m 20 still in college, only a few friends due to everyone moving away bc of COVID, and don’t know exactly what i want to do after college either. this is the time where we are supposed to find ourselves, don’t feel bad for not having your shit together, we’re not supposed to yet

Yeah. I guess I feel like I may never haha. I know that's not true. I guess I have just been thinking of how I graduate in a few semesters and have no plans haha. I have time though and so do you :)

@branzimm True. Not much fun right now haha but we'll be okay. I'm introverted anyway so I guess I can have fun doing something alone lol

Well I basically just posted something that is exactly the same as what you said. I'm the same age as you, never had a girlfriend, I have 2 friend, never had a job, don't know what to do during and after college, and I'm not as happy as I used to be in my past. I don't know what to do

Well at least we aren't alone? I know how you feel. Its hard. I guess I'm pretty shy so making friends is hard and obviously relationships too. Throw in OCD and its even worse. I just hate feeling like I'm being everyone else. I mean I know I am young it just feels like this is how it will always be, you know? I'm not trying to complain just feeling discouraged. I am glad to hear I'm not alone but also sorry you are going through this. I hope this year can be better to us

@Anonymous Making friends was something I was never the best at. With a lot of things I just go with the flow with everything and do the best I can. I get what you're feeling though. It's not complaining. I hate comparing myself to others, but I feel like there are just things my mind does whether I want it to do those things or not. Ruminating is my biggest problem and it's what caused me to breakdown tonight

You’re not alone. It’s going to get better. I’m 25 and went back to college and barely got my first kiss (precovid19). I also live at my parents’ house which can be frowned upon. Feel all of those feelings. Timelines don’t exist, you can create your own. You got this!
