I’ve already posted once and found the feedback very useful. After some reflection, I’ve realised I don’t really have a plan. I dropped out of sixth form, had a 9-6 in sales for 3 weeks and now I just work part time in a supermarket with the goal of being self imployed. I’ve been watching a lot of kris’s old content about the male advantage etc and considering I’m 18, even though it seems good on paper I just don’t really see making a good income online as realistic. My view point is I’m just another young guy I guess, probably going to follow an average successes pattern etc. With that in mind I’ve been reflecting on my current life, working part time in a supermarket, going to the gym, learning Spanish, doing YouTube (just documenting my life, giving what advice I can as I go along). I feel good doing this, but the more I think long term, I’m not sure it’s really serving me. I could live like this for years, but if I didn’t exceed online, I would be say 21 living with my parents, working in a part time supermarket etc. Older guys, for the average guy on this journey, do you think it’s better to get out into the real world with a career, gain advice/experience etc which could help you later on, or just focus on the online stuff at a young age?

I'm 18 and not really sure what to do with my life. I dropped out of sixth form/ year 12 in April and I just floated around, worked in cold calling sales for 3 weeks, hated that. After that job in sales I did just plan on going back to another/new college, but a few months back I made the decision to try and make money online. Previously I was sceptical about this and actually found it cringe young guys thought they could make 10k a month online at 16/17. Yes people like say Iman Gadzhi have done it, but I suppose maybe I retained a sense of realism in that for 99.99% of guys this just won't happen/ there is always an outlier. For example what I notice, in say Kris, Hamza, Mike Thurston etc. is they are all older and have a back story. They almost put in ground and field work in the real world (not this online self improvement space) and became a man before they ever came online, or at least did both at the same time. They had a back story, they were relatable etc. and they didn't just show up out of nowhere driving a lambo at 16 saying they make 10 million dollars a month. Basically they followed a fairly natural development for a man and the male advantage. However after watching enough of hustle culture content and also speaking to other guys online who were adamant it was possible to become rich and said I just had a weak mindset, my beliefs shifted. I started to believe if you just worked hard enough it was possible Honestly feels like the worst decision of my life. All these people say work 12 hours a day and all this bullshit. All that happened to me was I started to speak to less and less people. All I would do is just sit inside all day, only ever leave to go to the gym or my part time job. All this time alone has made me really out of shape socially, I can barely speak to anyone and just feel really low and somewhat depressed. After months of living like this I feel it's taken it's toll. I can't go on like this, So I need to make a change. I guess I could continue with the online stuff while working part time to earn some money, and just speak to more people at the gym etc.
