I don’t know what to do with my life
I don’t know what to do with my life. I’m almost 20 and I graduated from high school in June 2025. Since then I’ve had two jobs that didn’t make me happy, I only did them to save some money. I still live with my parents, but I don’t feel good here. I need freedom and independence.
The problem is that I don’t have any real interests or passions, so I don’t know what I want to do in the future. It’s been a year since I graduated, but I still feel stuck.
I’ve thought about becoming an au pair, doing volunteer work, or working at a campsite because I feel like this is the right age to have new experiences. I’ve also thought about moving to Spain, where my girlfriend lives, because I’d like to build a new life there, but I don’t know the language.
Here in Italy I don’t even have close friends, and living with my parents reminds me of a period of my life that wasn’t very happy. I feel lonely, without support, and without a clear direction.
Any advice?
