I really need help. I'm 27 and I have tried a whole lot of things with nothing to show for. Sometimes I just see myself as one without purpose. Wished I had gotten a skill earlier on. I'm an introvert
I don't have much friends and I rarely go out or socialise. I still live with my parents and it hurts me so much! I have been trying to network lately but everything just seems like nothing is working out. Going through a whole lot. Any life coach in the house ? Anyone I can talk to ? I just want to be on the right path. I don't want to end up without achieving anything in life (that scares me alot).

I can speak well and lately I have been thinking of becoming an OAP because I'm good at it, or even a media personality! Been doing a couple of trainings on it personally!

Pls can this be moved to FP.. I need contributions from my family here!

You wish you had gotten a skill earlier on and now that you are 27, what is stopping you from getting a skill?

If you're serious, find something that you have a passion for and focus on learning and pursuing it. You're not too old to start again. In fact, you're still quite young.

Living with your parents at that age should not scare you since there are many other people at their 30s and still living with their parents. The main issue here is that you don't have a skill and that what you should look for right now.

Being an introvert is actually a big challenge because you will abandon many things you start, you will have hard time connecting with people, you will overthink most of the time. However, can someone change who they are? Well, No, but you can improve yourself to archive whatever you want. First, stop thinking and starts acting. Be ready to make mistakes and don't overthink things again. If you think of any skill, ho ahead and learn it and don't give up when you become anxious or angry. Just relax for a bit and resume later.

So, since you are an intovert who don't fancy going out and being social, focus on a skill you can perform without having to meet people every day. Maybe blogging, programming or content writing or YouTube. These skills pay very well and since you already love the to become an OAP blogging and YouTube can help you develop skills that may be helpful in your future career.

I have to write this long reply because I'm also an introvert but I have been working on myself lately. Remember to never give hearing ear to anyone telling you that you are amounting to nothing. You are special and if you start something today, the world will celebrate you soon.

I already said what I have passion for in my last paragraph. I just need the right folks to connect with on that !

Increase your social media presence. Go to Facebook, Twitter. Make posts declaring your wish and intention and tag people or organisations that can help. In the physical world too, try asking around for people that might know the right persons or places to walk into.

Since you're just starting and you have low resources, I advise you join an established enterprise or organisation. Stay with them and work under them and try to offer your talents whenever they have activities.

From there you'll be gaining recognition and experience gradually and God willing, your time will come.

Thanks for this input. But my phone isn't that good for creating videos and contents. Still I really appreciate your inputs.

Thanks for your sincere contributions, I really appreciate that. @bolded I have been working on that lately with no success yet. My phone isn't really good, so I can't create videos or contents with it. If you know any radio station or media house you can link me up with I will so appreciate that sir. That is if you know any!

Living at home with your parents shouldn't be your biggest concern at this point. Growing to have what you do and having your feet on the ground should.

Start sack gardening right now so you can at least subsidize your own feeding. Get yourself busy doing gardening and expend some of those calories from the milk. Grow vegetables, yam, potatoes, etc., in the small space you have in your backyard, all year round. https://www.nairaland.com/7471140/amazing-output-yam-in-sack-farming-pictures
https://www.nairaland.com/7345038/growing-crops-sacks

Challenge yourself this year by gardening to help your mind relax and process all that stress you seem to be packing there, and you might find the inspiration you need to change your situation. Nigeria has great weather year-round and as such, it makes absolute sense for all persons to have for themselves a year-round garden from which to source some of their food needs.

Start listening to Apostle Joshua Selman messages. You will find direction.

Consult IFA....if you are Yoruba

Or a good Afa if you are Igbo...

They will point you to your life calling..

He will instead have the same delusions that those who listen to that mind are wrapped in.

It is clear you are NOT flexible. With this skill you claim you have, why have you not started a YOUTUBE CHANNEL and speak on trending things or something you have passion for.... YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WHAT YOU WANT WHICH IS BECOMING UNAVAILABLE BY THE DAY.... if oppotunity doesn't knock on your door... WHY NOT BUILD ANOTHER DOOR.


Anyway from your write-up... YOU DO NOT NEED HELP... you just need discipline. Get off your arse and start doing youtube vlogging, podcast, etc.

Stop waiting for OAP.... and you have not left your house to go disturb all radio stations in your state....bruh pls... be practical and you will get fulfilled.

So telling you to avoid the lies that Jesus Christ warned His followers about makes me a psycho?

I totally agree with you. I have been too relaxed earlier on. Back in 2013/2014 I had a bunch of contacts, because at that time I was working at a dry cleaning company as a sales rep and I made a lot of friends(I could have gone far if I was smart enough to build on those contacts). After that I had one or two opportunities but I had this lackadaisical attitude in my early twenties. I don't normally take things serious. I used to work for an IT firm on the island back in 2018 and there was a time I was the team lead for a contract the firm got from Lagos state government(I got the job from a friend and we aren't in contact anymore). It was about capturing the data's of retired primary school teaches and I was the team lead for Yaba local government. I didn't build on the things I learnt there and the huge responsibility I handled well. I just get paid and relax. But since I'm now in my late 20s I know I can sit back anymore!

Where is your location.?
I work in a radio station and could be of help but you will start off as a volunteer..
If that's fine by you then DM me.
Be strong, be brave and don't give up

Why did you choose that profile name?
You need counsel first because that profile name means a lot {Luke 6:45} riches doesn't belong to those seeking it {Ecclesiastes 9:11} but those desperately seeking it ends up being hurtful towards themselves and others around them! 1Timothy 6:10
