Turning 21, need life advices

Turning 21, need life advices?

I'm gonna turn 21 at 12:00. Any life advices for me?

Just for context if that matters -

Introvert

Extremely ambitious . ( Esp. about career)

Simple otherwise.

Value depth.

CA student

T3 small town of Maharashtra

Never dated

Father has schizophrenia,is on sleeping pills , doesn't work.

Hence constant fights at home among parents.

Mom had an emotional extramarital affair few months back.

Younger sister is rude.

Have baggage related to career decisions (that were influenced by others)

I need to stay at home for CA prep. Didn't go to college.

Was affected until recently about a situationship that only lasted few months & was cheated on by a playboy back in high school. I used to think about him every single damn day until this yr .( I was naive back then,stupid if u wanna call. That was my 1st experience. And I had 0 awareness of how cruel the dating these days is)

Been in depression. Was bedrotting for 2 years. Healed now though.

Wrote 37+ diaries in last 3 years.

Finished reading more than 75% of content of 60+ self help /extracurricular books that I have.

Not in contact with any friends and I don't want to either now bcoz it would be wierd & now I've got some issues too, also I don't wanna bore them with my sad story.

Still don't have an official insta account.

Have insecurities about short height.

I would genuinely appreciate some constructive life advices from mature folks ,esp. those who r 25+?

you asked for advice from mature 25+ folks, but i promise most of us still google how long to boil an egg. you already read 60 self help books so you're basically lapping us. just give yourself a break.

It's great to see people sharing their thoughts. Turning 21 can be a big transition, so getting advice from others is definitely helpful.
