I know it could be way, way worse, but it feels awful. Like being 32 and still being on r9k kind of thing. I never really had a normal teenage life like everyone else because my parents were schizos who sheltered me. I don't know any math after multiplication. Idk what degree i should get or job. All of my friends are gonna get 6 figures as engineers or computer scientists or whatever. Im behind in life and no one is taking me seriously. I just want to own a business then live in Patagonia on a homestead and never talk to anyone again. How can I not be a loser and get rich, and be normal. Happy 4th of July BTW.

Bully your parents in to paying for your college or take out loans. You will do a lot of growing up there if you don't spend all your time alone and make an effort to learn socially and just be open about being a home schooled square. Take the easiest classes you can.

Or get a job at best buy or whatever

I would suggest chasing your childhood dreams and becoming serious about it. I always enjoyed playing guitar growing up and wanted to be a musician all of my life. I've dropped out of 2 art institutions because I thought I'd never get to where I wanted to be. At 26 I'm planning on going back to school strictly for guitar. There are professional guitarists that make 6figs and I'm going to be one of them. There are areas in life specifically cut out for you and what you want to do. Everybody wants to own a business though. Find something more specific that you actually want to do. I doubt your true passion is firing and hiring people. You'd be a great businessman if that was your passion though. Don't waste your time on things you don't want to do. A lot of my friends that went to college are now trying to make youtube content because that's what they truly enjoy. One of them went to trade school and is now a twitch streamer. Other 2 guys I know went to school for engineering and business and ended up making an anime podcast. Right now is your chance to stop beating around the bush. You can also wait until you feel like it's too late. It's never too late. People still tell me I'm young.

Start out by taking CLEP tests. Go to your local community college, enroll. But don’t take any classes yet. Ensure your local community college accepts and offers CLEP tests. If you’re half way intelligent you can just use quizlet or Wikipedia for study material. Some other websites like free CLEP prep have good material. I took about 30 credit hours worth for free, though chances are you’ll pay 125 to 175 for the exam. Which beats paying 300 per credit hour or whatever the ungodly rate is these days.

You go in, take your 15-30 credit hours worth. Then take your paperwork and go enlist in the military for two to four years. Take evening classes. Finish your associates minimum. Military did up until recently ensure GED/homeschool had a minimum of 15 credit hours prior to enlisting so they weren’t getting the absolute dregs NEETs of society who got kicked out of mommies tendy hut. But that also may have changed since shit is insanely bad

Then figure out if you want to stay or enlist if you like it and Joes recession doesn’t fuck the country. But you’ll be around 21/22 and you can then go finish university then get your meme degree and go do something else.

You have to make a blueprint to design the building project, some big brain guy to know where all the electrical wiring and plumbing goes. Then make a foundation, some wooden frames. Fill it in with stuff. Idk. I know you stack the bricks and put on the concrete stuff to make it stick.

It must suck to be you since no matter what, people are going to perceive you as socially maladjusted. You never had the same experiences the public school did, and you never got bullied into not acting like a spaz. You probably have hygiene issues since you weren't forced to go outside your house everyday.

You could definitely be a woodworker making 6 figures if you start working on your craft RIGHT NOW. Find other woodworkers that are making the money you want to make and follow their lead. Also don't stop learning. There's always going to be something you didn't know about woodworking.
