What Do You Do When Nothing Seems to Work?

when you were trying the freelancing, what kind of work were you actually putting out there? or was it still in the trying-to-figure-out phase?

I have no idea what I have been doing with my life. It feels like a blank page. I've been searching for internships, trying to do freelancing, content creation, and so many other things. People say, "Don't complain to God about your life." I stopped doing that, but I still feel so disappointed in myself.

I went for internship exams, then my college exams came along. I kept trying freelancing and content creation, only to realize that my camera quality is so poor that it doesn't even capture my face clearly.

I see everyone doing their dream jobs, going on vacations, and spending time with their friends, while I lie on my bed and watch them. Every door seems to be closing day by day. No more friends, no money, so many problems, and family expectations.

Where do I go? What do I do? Am I not worthy of any of this? I keep looking for answers, but I just end up stuck in this loop.

    of the things you tried (internships, freelancing, content), was even one not totally terrible?

    idk, i guess when you say no doors are opening... some of them might just be painted shut for now, not actually closed forever? hard to tell the difference when you're tired though.
