How do you find your path in your 20s when you feel behind everyone else?”

I’m in my early 20s and something I’ve been struggling with since graduating high school is that I’ve never really had a plan for college or life in general.

I see my uncles and aunts who graduated college, moved away from their hometowns, got married, and have kids. It feels like they all had their path figured out. Meanwhile, I feel stuck and unsure about what I want to do with my life.

One big issue for me is that I really struggle with math. I honestly hate it and it’s something that makes school feel even more stressful for me. Because of that, I don’t even know what majors or careers would be realistic for me.

I also don’t want to just follow what everyone else expects or chase someone else’s dream. I want to find my own path. At the same time, I’m the oldest sibling, and I worry a lot about my future. I don’t want to end up being a bum or set a bad example for my younger siblings.

I just want to find something I can study or learn that will help me grow as a person and build a stable life. If anyone here has been in a similar situation in their early 20s, how did you figure things out? What are some fields, skills, or paths I could explore that don’t require heavy math but still lead to a good career?
