life help: I don’t know what I want to do with my life. - Help.com

I don’t know what I want to do with my life.

I’m 20 years old.

Whenever I make a decision it takes me a really long time and my decision is always ultimately wrong/different compared to everyone else.

Take for example picking usernames… I feel like I can’t be creative anymore, when I pick a username it’s just too weird… It takes me forever to pick one I like. Then 2-3 weeks later I look at my name and im like ugh why did i pick this??

It seems like my greatest accomplishments were when I didn’t think much about them. THe things I think too much on/try too hard on always fail… why is this? Why do the things I try to make work always fail, and things I don’t care about/don’t think much of always do better?

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do if I try to hard or not.

Then theres always things that I care about, I feel shy talking about them because I really like them/value them. This makes me lose them…. I hate this. What is wrong with me?
