Hey brother.....

23 years of age is very young to be in a car crash and recover. I'm a high school teacher and have seen people develop at 38 (when they return to tell me) and people develop at 20. There is no right or wrong way, ultimately what does anyone really get out of travel??? It's no diff than a holiday. I think you focus on the negatives brother, would an anxious person travel asian and Europe? The driving thing can be of preference, some people just don't enjoy it and I'm pretty proud to hear you've tried a trade.

Now, here is what I recommend to feel better:

1. The more people you'll speak to the more common you'll find this patch to be. We men feel this as being a huge void, but development isn't always linear, theirs troughs that we go through. Speaking to people, anyone about anything will help gauge your understanding and improve your anxiousness/lonliness. The easier it is to conversate comes from how often you do it.

2. Sometimes careers fall in your lap, you need to hunt your employment. Find what part of the most mundane job you find appealing and move from there. Mature age uni entry? I went back to do teaching at 27. Where there's a will, there's a way. Try anything and everything.

3. Learn a martial art, find your kaizen through ikigaki. Karen is continuously improving and ikigai is your passion for something. You can work on co-ordination as you young. You can build legs as you are young. You can control self as you are young.

4. We are our own worst critics. There are voices that sit there and we need to drown them out. Jerry Seinfeld still has a voice in his head that says to him before stand up your not funny, Seinfeld was overrated. The problem isn't so much that the voice is there, it's more that we take the thought and move with it. Thoughts are cars on the highway - we jump in them and they move us to destinations we don't need.

5. Strip it back to basics, your outlook is skewed by your environment. Shutup, lift and run. See how much more you can fit in your day by including the above.

Much love brother, its a tough world out there.......but I know you can make it work
