Has anyone turned their lives around in their mid 20s?

1 week ago 17

Going through a career and life crisis are driving me nuts as I'm nearing in my 30s. If anyone in the sub have turned their lives around for the better in their 20s or 30s, I'd like to hear more about it. Honestly just struggling to find purpose and confidence. I think overthinking has lead to self doubts and procrastinating.

I feel so scared to work on my life. At times, my family thinks I just won't do anything but sit at home rest of the life yet something in me is just stopping me from doing anything. Idk what it is, lack of confidence and clarity, moral support, social anxiety and fear, maybe shame idk. It's so overwhelming feeling and at times end up feeling mentally exhausted. Life a part of you wants to change but part of you also don't. And you end up constantly battling in your head not focusing on reality. Like I've wasted almost all of my early 20s and now that I'm in mid 20s, it feels so late to change everything. I'm scared of failure, rejection and setbacks. Anything I want to do ends up with no action because I'm just overanalyzing the risk factor. In community college, I decided let me just get a 2 year degree and immediately join workforce but after like few years, I realized the program I tried to go for was so competitive and I didn't have a backup plan. Now I just stopped going college. I'm still working in retail job like my age people and younger are working corporate jobs or working remotely or business. I don't even have my life together right now. I'm feeling so much hopelessness
