Hi OzBargain Community.
I'm now 18 years of old, an Adult. But I don't feel like one. I feel pathetic, I feel disgraceful, I feel like I wasted 18 years of my life doing nothing to be proud of. From a young age, being in a disruptive family, I had developed pretty severe anxiety which followed me throughout schooling. I was overweight and insecure, struggled mentally alot and was an introvert despite not wanting to be one. I cared too much about everything. I did seek professionals secretly but I have stopped ever since graduating, simply because I feel like its a big waste of money and I feel guilty considering how hard expensive it is.
I feel like I've found my purpose in Entrepreneurship. It's something I've always liked and been fascinated in. I started my first business when I was 16, it failed badly (lost 2-3k) and my mental did get pretty bad but I've been able to comeback. Entrepreneurship has also allowed me to not feel worthless, and feel like Im actually working towards something in my life. It has allowed me to somewhat get my life together, started to sleep more on time, workout more, and just study more, learning valuable information about life.
That's why I will be be fully committing to starting my own Ecommerce Store soon. I just have to do it. I will rather die doing this than pursue a boring degree I don't care about. I really hope it does well because I will put my all into it, but if it doesn't, oh well I'm still 18. Have some money from being spoiled but not much. Im putting all my money into this, I won't be asking my parents for any.
Is there any advice you would give?
I've found advice from strangers to funny enough be extremely useful especially with those relating to starting a business. I don't have anyone else to ask tbh.
PS - I'm really interested in Gym Apparel
you will know everything at 18 and nothing at 22
