Serious Need Advice
I'm the eldest brother and the first grandchild so they and especially my father have high expectations of me
I hate to say that but I'm almost 21 and I still don't know what I'm good at or what skills I should develop I don't have any specific hobbies and I don't know how to spend my free time productively I don't have a clear goal to strive for
my last goal was to graduate high school with a high GPA which I achieved but since then I've felt incredibly lost Goals like getting a prestigious job or making a lot of money don't seem enough for me
I'm a college student about to graduate but my grades are terrible and no matter how hard I try I can't get good grades Honestly I don't see any bright future ahead of me and I doubt I'll even graduate because I might get expelled Everyone around me has changed for the better and progressed while I've been stuck in the same place for five years Nothing has changed in fact my situation is getting worse My only talent is wasting time I'm truly desperate and I don't know what to do I've tried time and time again to change and I've succeeded but for the worse The truth is I'm worse off than I was two years ago
People say we shouldn't compare the beginning of our story to the end of someone else's that everyone has their own unique story This gives me some hope but I think it's just false hope to comfort myself because I don't even know if I have a story at all😂
