Let me in on another secret, I didn't find success until 40. Took me a good 5 years to get out of my parents home. Now I have a wife and a son. I'm super happy now at 45. Don't compare yourself to others. Fuck other people. It's your life, not theirs.

I have a diagnosed mental disability and have a hard time with staying focused on things like work. Also, I hate my job. I'm just fucking good at it(thanks to YouTube). But I enjoy 3D printing and taking photos but not good enough to make it a career. My well paying boring job funds my life and my family and at 5pm, I mentally peace out of work and completely ignore all emails.

Life is what you make of it. You're not an NPC in a game. You're the main character. I'm just a random NPC that was in your shoes and letting you know there is hope.
