I’m Tired of Feeling Like My Life Is Not Moving

I honestly feel stuck in life right now. I’ve tried so many times to do something productive with myself, but somehow nothing seems to work out. School hasn’t gone the way I planned, work opportunities keep slipping away, and every time I think I’m finally making progress, something happens and I’m back to where I started. Sometimes I go on social media and see people my age getting jobs, starting businesses, travelling, getting married and achieving things, while I’m still trying to figure out my next step. I’m genuinely happy for them, but deep down, I keep asking myself, “What am I doing wrong?” My biggest problem at the moment is money. I need financial stability, but I’m not willing to sleep with people or engage in hookups just to survive. I want to make money in a clean and respectable way. I’m open to legitimate jobs, skills, online work, apprenticeships, small businesses—anything honest that can help me get back on my feet. Lately, I’ve also started wondering if there is a spiritual side to all these repeated disappointments. I don’t want to blame everything on spirituality, but when the same pattern keeps happening, you start questioning things. I’m not asking anyone to give me money. I just need genuine advice from people who have experienced this kind of season and eventually found their way out. What did you do when you felt completely stuck in life? And if you believe in spiritual guidance, what helped you without falling into the hands of fake prophets and scammers?
