Hey @TaraBehen and welcome to the forums! 🤗💛
Firstly, thank you for posting this because I truly believe that the stuff you're going through is something that a lot of people around your age can relate to. Please know that is it 100% okay to not be set up with a career and life plan at 18. You are just beginning your adult life and you will need a lot of time and experience to figure out what it is that your life and career will look like. What area are you looking to get into? Secondly, it would be really hard not having close relationships at the moment, and you are right, you DO deserve better and you DO deserve good friends and people that care about you. I you are 18, have you just gotten out of high school? There are so many more opportunities to meet people and make friends after high school, it can take time but it will happen for you and I think a lot of young people are feeling a similar way too. I know personally for me, I didn't make good friends until well after high school through places like uni, work, volunteering, sports, hobbies etc.
It sounds like you have a really good attitude to life as you can still see the good in things are feel gratitude for what you do have even though you know you are not where you want to be. Not sure how you personally like to practise gratitude, but the act of writing things down that you are thankful for can both feel good and be motivating when you go to set goals. Its okay to have insecurities, I think to some extent we all do, but do you feel like these are getting in the way of you living a good life?
We are so glad you posted and want to be here for you 💜💙

Hey @TaraBehen so glad to hear that the support was helpful 😀. Writing can be so cathartic as it can be a really good way for us to express ourselves. It's awesome that writing helps you out in that way!
