Confused Girl

At this point I don’t know what to do with my life and I’m pretty sure you may not know what to do with yours either whether you are 21 like me or older or even younger. Regardless though, even though I don’t know what to do with my life there is still a lot I want to do. I have so many goals and dreams and if not that I have so many skills that I can turn into something but it’s just so hard and confusing. I have been going back and forth with myself on whether I want to start selling something or just start providing a service but it’s like everybody is doing something, it seems like there is nothing left to start and it’s kind of hard to be original these days because people are so picky.

Some friends who I would confide in about what I want to do (BAD IDEA!) they would just tell me to just do it and don’t think too much about it, that just because someone else is doing it doesn’t make it good. They would also say that there is somebody out here always looking for the next best thing and with that, it would always be some people that would support me. So after I heard that, I went out on a limb and partnered with this lady I met on Facebook who I saw was always selling tips and products for weight loss ( I know that sounds sketchy but she was real and her business was legit) and I was like well I’m tryna get on a weight loss journey so why don’t I see what this is about. So I partnered with her, I bought samples and I tried to sell it, I even tried the product myself but nobody was budging and I would have at least thought I would get some support since it seemed like “everybody” was on a weight loss binge but NO! Also these friends that were giving me the advice about just going for it weren’t even supporting me. No advertisements, no purchases, no anything and I was constantly reaching out to them for help and they were just giving me false hope so I gave up.

With me giving up, the lady who I partnered with was upset, she wanted me to keep going, I ended up telling her why I wanted to quit though and she gave me some great advice. She told me that any support I receive will not come from friends or family. It will often come from strangers and when she said that it kind of made me think, it made me want to try again but then I thought about it some more and if you are like me this thought probably crossed your mind too. I am not someone who Is socially Intune with the world I should say for lack of a better term. I don’t just jump out and talk to folks I usually wait for someone to talk to me then I conversate and I know that sounds bad but it’s not in the way that you think. I’ve tried to be better and talk more but every time I would try to initiate conversations with other people they would just look at me crazy and not respond to me, so I just kept quiet but that’s another story for a different time! Now getting back on topic, Bottomline the lady gave me some really good advice but because of the type of person I am, that was going to be a lot harder than she even knew so I just gave up completely.

So at the end of the day there is a lot I want to do and try to do but I don’t want to fail like most people don’t, I want to be different and do something different but it's hard. I don’t know what to do with my life or how to even remotely start anything successful, I'M JUST A CONFUSED 21 YEAR OLD! HELP ME! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thanks for reading, BYEEEEEE!
