I don't know what I wanna do with the rest of my life. I thought I did but I don't anymore. I'm so confused and don't know what to do anymore?

I think I need some backstory to respond meaningfully to this, tweety. Are you talking about career, relationships, something else, or all of them? What changed that made you unsure?

It is about college, I don't know what to do. I go to cc and can't stand living with my fam I feel like living here will be the death of me! The only reason I'm still here is fear, fear of not finishing school and regretting it. But I'm tired of my life going nowhere, I have no friends or family members to turn to, I'm so alone, if I am not @ school then I'm laying in me bed. I can't find a job & my family makes it worse my scolding me calling me a loser and telling me I'm a waste of life I don't know what to do to get a change in my life, i don't feel like i'm living @ all.

I'm thinking you might want to have a "one on one" with your family... maybe the one family member that might listen to you when you tell them you've been depressed about your future and you're trying to decide whether your school is your future or moving out and quiting college and getting your own place... then maybe they may help you realize to NOT QUIT COLLEGE .... sorry... it is so much harder to go back after you've gotten a different "life" path. I went back many years later and always kicked myself in the aRrrrse for not getting back to school earlier... much harder when you're married have kids and working full time... like the outdoors??? hiking, biking.. get yourself involved with food pantries ... learn to love being in your own skin and women will be drawn to you and even men will get involved in these activities and you WILL make friends because you have much more to talk about... good luck to you

I would do everything in your power NOT to quit college. That will support you for the REST of your life.

What is causing you distress is your immediate life. Unless there are other viable options learn to tune your family out. I don't know anyone who would call their college attending child a loser, if that is the whole story than your family is dysfunctional. Perhaps take this as a lesson in knowing your own worth, and ignoring unreasonable people?

You can't go anywhere until you pick either a destination or a direction. Either will do, but you have to pick something.

In the end, it won't matter which or what you pick right now. This first choice will give you some momentum. That momentum will give you the feeling of "going somewhere". You can change goals later, if you need to.

Don't forget, most people change their field/career choice after a while. Some people change a couple of times.

What are you studying right now?
