Im lost in life right now. I graduated high school in May of 2019. I've only been able to get 1 job and it didn't last long. It ended good but now i don't know what's next for me. I have a family that doesn't tolerate failure. All I've done is fail them. I want to make something out of myself and i want to make them proud of me but i don't know where to start. As soon as i think about going to school my head just starts to hurt cause i have no idea what i want to do. Everytime i tell my family that im lost and don't know what i want to do. They just stare at me and complain. They say "it shouldn't be this difficult" and the look they give me is just pure disappointment. I end up crying my eyes out for hours doubting myself all the time and im getting know where. Im just so lost. Im not sure what to do?

A person without clear life guidelines is like a ship without a destination port - he sails not to where the desired result awaits him, but to where the wind and undercurrents drive him. Very often this leads to the fact that a person has been standing in one place for years.In order, in my opinion, to get out of this situation, you need to, oddly enough, do nothing. That is, not to make ill-considered and unnecessary, and therefore extremely dangerous gestures.The second recommendation is to review the strategy. You did not find yourself at this vital point by chance. Something brought you here. And this is something – your life strategy, whether you realize it or not.If you are at a crossroads in life, if you have a lot of questions, but there are no answers to them, if you do not know how to continue living, then I sincerely hope that my recommendations will help you

My advice to you is to read books, look on the Internet what people are doing now, go to some courses, and do sports even for 10-15 minutes, watch a video about motivation, and most importantly tell yourself what you can do, and also if you want to do something write on paper and do them, or do a few things every day and try to compose words in seven days it will be the words victory

Buddy, try to find yourself in a variety of professions and hobbies. Perhaps you will enjoy designing airplanes, or photographing concerts? To build houses? To play guitar? After all, playing video games (it's not always a bad thing, and in some cases it can help your life take shape and get out of depression). Try to find a friend in a field that interests you in the slightest.

Hello! I understand that it's hard for you to go through this. Regardless, you shouldn't feel like you're the only one facing this. Your fear of uncertainty is spurred on by your parents' behavior. My advice for you is to try to avoid the pressure from your parents and strengthen your self-confidence. You should separate yourself from their opinions and then you can freely choose what you like without looking back at them.

Oh, how I understand you. This happens to me very often too. I am sure that all people go through such moments of their lives. Even those who are already employed. They are tormented by thoughts that they have chosen the wrong specialization. I am one of such people. But if we talk in more detail about your problem, then in my opinion everything is very simple. You just need to constantly try yourself in various spheres of life. Constantly looking for work options. Try something new every day. And I'm sure it will help you find your way in life. It helped a lot of people!

Hi, this is very familiar to me. It is very difficult to choose your path in life without even starting to live and not understand what you like. The attitudes of the world force us to take this step and determine our future, but this does not mean that we do not have the right to decide for ourselves. We can submit to the system, even if we are unsure of our decisions, and many years of life will be given to something that is not important and uninteresting to us. But even in this case, we have the opportunity to start over. And we can live by our own rules, and then there will be no regrets about the path we have traveled and fear from steps in another direction. It's never too late to get an education. It's also good to be without vicissitudes. The most important thing is that it all leads to your own happiness. Start with a regular job. Try yourself in the service sector, and you will understand that it does not suit you, get a job in an office, and suddenly it will seem to you not your life's work. But over time, you will understand exactly what you need, and what profession you like. Then start getting an education. I think that there is nothing permanent and developed in life, so changing our tastes and priorities is a normal phenomenon. You can search for yourself all your life, but at the end of the path you have traveled and the life experience you have gained, you will not regret it. It is not necessary to drive yourself into the framework and go in one direction. Look for yourself, try different things and a lot, get an education, develop! And one day, you'll stop at something.

All they care about is your stability. Because they think that if they have stability in their work, family, then you should have it too. But you are a unique case, which has its own history, its own way, its own head. It's a pity that everything turned out this way, but it's not the end. Trust me! I've been through it too.

These are common feelings. As I was growing up, I had a very clear life goal. I was determined to be a cop when I grew up. Surprise of all surprises, I actually became an officer....and it was horrible. I loved my job, but the politics, the backstabbing, and the horrible way that officers plotted against each other was very demoralizing. I ended up leaving, and not on good terms. My dream and my goal was dead. It took me over a decade of trying various jobs to find something that I wanted to pursue as a career. I wanted to help youth as a social worker or case worker. I had worked in a couple different youth facilities, and loved the idea of helping them. So I got a night shift job, that was enjoyable but very low work load and decided to take online courses for my social work degree. Then covid hit. So I planned to wait a bit and continue to save up money towards school. Then medicare/Medicaid made a mandate demanding that all health care workers be vaccinated (I don't believe in forcing anyone to get vaccinated for any reason). This mandate was tried in federal court...and unfortunately allowed to stay in place. A person can try and get exceptions to it, but that is far from a guarantee. So now, I have no goal in mind again. I am still working my job and continuing to save money, but I have no career goal. I am 38 yrs old, with no career. Just a list of jobs that I have had. The point is this. Do not give up. There is always the chance at a new dream or goal. Keep plugging along until you find it.
