College student. Feel like a failure?
I m 21 and transferred from community college to my university so while I should be a senior I m a semester behind. I do fairly well grade wise so I m not failing school. What makes me feel like a failure is the fact that I m turning 22 still have no friends, I ve never felt like I could connect as well as I should with my family, I couldn t live on my own even if my life depended on it, and I literally can t even get a part time low level job.
I don t want to wallow in the details trying to explain I feel incompetent but you get the point. I feel like I don t really fit in any where. I had a job at a grocery store bagging groceries and have applied to countless other jobs but can t get anywhere. I m an English major and I don t feel I could do anything without my bachelor s but I m increasingly feeling like school doesn t matter. I was seeing a therapist but she wasn t helping me. I want to find another therapist but despite being 21 I have to have mama do all the **** (meant to express my annoyance).
I know I m all over the map but if you have any advice or anecdotes I d very much appreciate them. I don t entirely care that I m single but the lack of actual friends does get to me and work is a sensible topic to me.
Notes about me
I m English major, philosophy minor and am debating adding a theater minor (I did say I m getting tired of school so while a theater minor seems fun, I wouldn t mind ending school asap)
21 turning 22 soon.
