I don't feel like a functional adult at 28...
I need some solid harsh advice because I don't feel like I'm realizing the severe impact it is having on my life. Like I'm 28 gonna be in 30s and it feels like I've wasted a decade living a abnormal life. I let fear, failures and shame just control me and kept me stegnant. When deep down I knew all I needed to do was stop with the overthinking and take actions and just try try and try again until I get it. But I guess my ego prevented me from seeking help. I let comfort zone and pleasure keep me in safe place but now it feels like it was the failure zone. At 28, I feel so ashamed that I don't even have resume. I haven't tried at all not even for a whole week to relentlessly apply for jobs. To seek guidance from someone. My mind constantly keeps reminding me of my failures and things I need to be working on but now it feels like I don't know really how to live life and forgot what am I supposed to be doing everyday. All I know is I need to learn driving because it is just critically important just like finding a job and earning money. I have so much free time but all this years I didn't even learn a skill. It just pains me that I'm wasting so much potential and internally feel this hopelessness and helplessness that why am I not helping myself and trying to find happiness and confidence that my soul is seeking for.
