My problem:
Have family business, never worried about money. I feel ashamed when I ask for money to my parents; the initial reason for starting my own business and becoming trustable also making a good impression on my family. I’ve never been praised for anything, this made me into a perfectionist; I can’t accept my defeat. A few days after: failing my businesses, finding out the reason why I failed, finding out why my girl left me, why I can’t accept my defeat, and understanding my family business and how it was still going on. I’ve come to realise that I really want to solve peoples problems, but the main thing is what problems do I solve? I’ve been solving small problems. To solve an extra ordinary problem we gotta have extra ordinary skills and at my age (18) I don’t have many to rely on. I can’t even sell anything, I really suck at sales even though I’ve learned sales from books and from some courses.

At my age guys act differently they enjoy being a degenerate, not thinking about their past mistakes, etc…
Because I failed and different stuff I’ve meditated, after meditation my perspective changed. I feel like this world is being controlled, we see paid ads everywhere, we see these personalised ads, emails, etc… it’s like they are selling us things which would make us more addicted to their products in turn. Even the social media apps, I’ve seen peoples hunger for likes, followers. These things will make them more depressed which they haven’t realised yet. Everyone of my age is living in constant peer pressure…
Am I normal? Am I the only one thinking this? Or have I gone mad? Why did I only get these and all these guys don’t get it? There has to be something wrong with me. Why am I not enjoying my life? Why am I so wrong all times? (These are the questions I’m constantly asking my self and it’s making me crazy!)

After these things, I say why do I even need passive money? I sometimes feel like it’s better to live like an employee, the work I had put into my businesses (which failed) made me into a negative person. As a perfectionist I hate failing…

Any advice or help?
