I'm 26 now and I still feel like a scared, shy teenager. I still live with family, I have no friends, I barely go out, I did terrible in school and barely have any qualifications. I do have a part time supermarket job but that is it.
I see other people my own age and they have their own places, a career, a degree. I have made barely any progress. I'm still in exactly the same position I was when I was 16.
I know it's my own fault, I need to push myself more, put myself out there, find a better job, try and get an apprenticeship, try and get into uni, try and make friends. I am just so scared. I have anxiety and its ruining my life. I just can't do those things. I am so scared of rejection, choosing the wrong thing, failure, etc
I just don't know what to do, how can I stop feeling like this. I am so depressed and the longer i put things off just makes me even more depressed. I hate myself.
