Not in school, don't work, can't drive, zero friends.

How can I live with all these worries suffocating me? I need to get my **** in order but it seems dauntingly impossible...

I'll never have a regular life. I'll always be one (or several) steps below everyone else.

Sorry if this comes off as a pity thread, but frankly I feel terrible tonight and this site is the only place where I can relinquish my true emotions.

Well I'm the same, although I can drive, but i stay at home most of the time so you wouldn't really know. And yes all my worries are suffocating me too. At least you now know you're not alone, and you can always know that, on here you can say how you really feel and at least one person will be able to empathise and relate to it.

(oh and I love "Lumpy" too)

You're not several steps below anybody. Every person's life goes at a different pace.

What do you consider a regular life?

What do you need to get in order?

Do you know what you want to do? Do you live somewhere that is metro accessible or can you walk from place to place?

My advice is first to think of what you want to do.

If it's any consolation, I know of a couple of people in real life my age that can't drive. Not for the same reasons as some here though. They don't have social anxiety but driving does scare them for other reasons. The best thing to do is take it one problem at a time and start with the easy ones. When you look at them all at once it gets overwhelming.

If I were you I'd make goals and take small steps to eventually get there.
Hope it all works out for you
And feel free to add me! ^^

I totally know the feeling. The difference was that I got to push things back 3 years with ~9k in debt by going to school for a type of work that doesn't exist in my area, at least not for recent grads. I didn't drive until I was about 20, and I just got my first job a few weeks ago (I'm 21 now). I still don't have any friends, and I tend to avoid initiating anything that might lead to building friendships because I still live at home and my lack of other friends.

That feeling of always being behind where I should be is still with me.
