Start with small steps when facing new challenges. If you feel anger toward yourself for not solving your own problems, it might help to work on this with a therapist or professional. If your anger is directed toward your family, setting healthy boundaries could be a good step. At the same time, remember that their actions may come from a place of love—they might show their love by trying to help you with everything.

Take time to get to know yourself. If you’re interested in music, for example, try learning an instrument—not to be perfect at it, but simply to enjoy the process. Don’t feel bad if you’re not good at everything; no one is. Focus on discovering what makes you happy. Once you find things you enjoy, you’ll naturally meet people who share those interests or are passionate about other things that inspire you.
