Is it normal to be so scared of the future?

Hi I 20F am in my second year of community college but still don’t know what I want to do with my life. Sorry if this becomes a rant but I just don’t know what to do. I am currently in secondary education because my father wants my to get a degree fast and I had majority credits to get this done in three more semesters but this is not what I wanna do and seeing the current state of teaching doesn’t help with that either. In fact I don’t know what I wanna do and I am scared because of that. I am a partially physically disabled young adult who doesn’t know what they wanna do because I have failed at everything I have ever tried. As well as AI taking up jobs I worry for that to. I don’t wanna be the third generation of my family to be miserable for my entire life cause I did not get to do what I wanted to do. Idk how I can push myself forward with this gloom from myself about where I am and family always comparing me to my more successful cousins. Sorry if this became a rant I just wanted to vent a bit but any advice is well appreciated:)
