18 y/o, recently started reading tmf and quite amused by it. All of it is quite hard to digest-shifting from the slow lane to the fastlane mindset, but I am working on it.

I have gone to business competitions, done a paid internship recently and sell my photos as stock images online (have made insignificant revenue) and I have some money invested in stocks and some saved up. Tbf currently my focus is on going to a good university and studying hard(as much as I hate it) and learning skills that prove valuable to me in the future ie sales, copywriting, marketing, web design and doing side hustles- freelancing, internships, volunteering. My lifes all over the place,but I have got one thing going for me and that's gym; I workout 5 days a week and seen good progress. Good some fine ideas aswell; opening an online fashion brand, an app etc.,

But being an 18y/o I have all the troubles of one aswell;naive, negative view towards the society(a bit) tad bit arrogant- however also a pussy alot of times(working on it)- to sum it up living in a bubble because of which I have failed socially alot and barely been able to make any friends and develop good relationships.

What would you do?
