Is it normal if i wanna do something but you know you're not capable to ?

Personally, I would love to travel or work in the media but the type of person I am feels like it is not compatible with my desires. Specifically, I'm about to go away to college and this is what I've been working for is to move away from home to grow and experience. However, I am not too familiar w being by myself. Although I have a vision for when I leave, I feel like in reality I'm going to be lonely and depressed and basically defeat the purpose of going away to college. I want to grow and become my own person plus meet tons of new people because Im done w the pple here, essentially I want a new life. But I'm afraid that won't be accomplished if I am going to be lonely and depressed, if that's the case then might as well go to school here. But I want to grow and experience like said before and prove something to others and myself that I can be independent but honestly, I need help in a couple of things, I always want someone by my side because I'm scared to be alone, etc. So is this normal? And regardless, what can I do in my case?

    Don't worry so much! I moved away from home to go to college and LOVED IT! Remember, most of the people there are in the same situation as you, and eager to make new friends as well!

    I agree with dappled, and I think you should step out of your comfort zone, and go for it! Don't let your fears get the best of you.

    In the beginning not having somebody by your side might be hard to get used to, but with time you could start to like it. And new beginnings are always hard. You'll never know how its going to be if you don't give it a go.

    Well, yes, but there's a difference between difficult and impossible. Just as there's a difference between difficult and incapable. It might be difficult for you to do certain things but if you want them enough, you'll accept the difficulties. If you don't want them enough, you just won't do them.
