I believe I went through a similar situation, I'm 30 now, I have started over so many times in my life and now that I'm taking life more seriously and have a passion and something I am studying that will 100% get me my dream job. I feel more like a teenager now than I have ever felt at 18 or 21. To Jack and all the people watching in a similar situation, please never give up, society's constructs means nothing compared to sheer force of will. You matter to the people around you and most of all before you can take that first step, you need to forgive yourself for being in the situation you are in, dont ever tell yourself that you arent worth anything.
Thank you. I’m 22 right now and it seems like I’m only starting to pick up my life now. I’ve struggled with mental illness a large part of my life and its put me behind my peers. But I’m putting myself out there now, working a job I love, taking a few classes. I think theres solace in the fact that no matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, it’s never too late to grow as a person.
That thing you said about it never being too late to start is so true. And I don’t know if it feels this way to you right now, but your life is just starting, and it is still full of endless possibilities. Now is a great time to get going, and I bet if you can get started now, in 20 years, you won’t be looking back thinking “if only I had been on top of things when I was 18, my life would be so different.” That little gap will probably seem insignificant then.
I do want to say for your sake and for the people who will read this that are older, the age we are now (late 20s) we didnt realize how young 22 actually was. I think of you guys as teenagers now, when I was 22 I too thought I should be further ahead. Take your time, you're already well ahead of many, even if your peers were already
I'm almost 32 - I have worked my whole life and always tried to get ahead, but while what you're saying is all true it's still not a golden recipe for success. I'm in the same situation even not for the lack of trying. Video games kept me sane all this time and allowed me to function better while the world felt crashing down on my head. Would I be in a better situation if I spent all that time doing other things? Maybe... But the fact is I always did all the things you mentioned in the video, yet only last year did I manage to get a job that allowed me to make more than a minimum wage. It's not easy even when trying really really hard, because there's millions of people that are also trying same things and are in similar positions. All anyone can ever do is try their best - but don't beat yourself down if that doesn't give you results straight away. If you only start improving your situation in 30s so be it... Just remember not to give up.
I am 29 and currently pursuing a PhD out of passion. Do I earn a lot? No, do I feel like I earn enough to have fun? Yes. While many things you said seem like good ideas, it also seems to me like you are measuring your self worth based on your accomplishments. Additionally, it feels like you are making the classical mistake of tackling too much at once. The one thing I would really recommend is to see a therapist. It is not correct to measure your self-worth based on how much you earn. A therapist won't solve any of your issues, but they help you identify mistakes in your thinking. Allowing you to better yourself gradually.
Don’t be scared mate, you got time on your side for sure! We all start of knowing nothing, try think of a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time based) goal related to your interests and pieces will start to fall together.

Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work ☺️
Smashing it
great video man, respect.
I'm 23, and this is some pretty solid advice. Thank you.

You are not entirely responsible. Society is sick.
What you are responsible for however, is linking what you earn to what your life is worth.
True, I do have a tendency to get bogged down with my lack of results monetarily, but there is plenty to be thankful for.
