Is it normal that i feel like a failure at 18

I recently got disqualified from the Army for the meds i was taking a year ago and I sucked all through high school wrecking my chances for higher schooling. I have only had one girlfriend a few friends and no job. I live at home while everyone is off with friends while i moved away from the city i grew up in. I have been rejected by the only to women ive ever fell in love with and now im telling all this to strangers. Someone please convince me otherwise cause i have nothing good in my live right now.

    What makes you think you have nothing?

    Volunteer at a charity, with all this extra time on your hands, you will see pure suffering. Plus girls like a guy that is self-less.

    There is nothing that I can tell you that will magically make your life better. YOU have to decide that you WANT it better. Don't wallow. Go out and get a job. It doesn't matter if its not what you want. It will give you a purpose everyday.

    Take a career quiz online and figure out what you wanna do with your life. Go to a community college, take classes that will eventually let you be able to achieve that goal.

    The point is, take baby steps. Make a goal and stick to it. Do something each day that will help you achieve.

    Forget about your rejected love. Put your concentration in achieving something for yourself. You cannot love another without loving yourself first.

    Why would you want to join the army? Thats simply mindless evil. But if you want to be a hero, or have a noble job, you could be a fireman or a police officer! Keep your hopes up for someone special to love.

    There's a rope in the barn XD but seriously what the hell are you complaining about? makit (click) batumbo is running for his life eating half rotten dog corpses in an unnamed country AFRICA!!!! right now. You may have alotta shit to deal with but hey your life isn't in immediate danger is it? no seriously is it? if not then you still gotta shot. Work, scrounge and if need be unethically aquire what you need to succeed. like sean connery said "Losers whine about their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen. If you need a pick me up, check out a third world charity vid and tell yourself "atleast I'm not that fucked" laugh at it and walk away.

    Sounds to me like you'd like to have some friends, as well as some purpose in life. Go job-hunting and find a job you can enjoy (or try to change the environment of your current workplace into something you like). Getting a job is an extremely effective way of making friends. Also, take up a hobby. Is there anything you really enjoy, or that you've always wanted to try? Start doing it, and keep doing it. Even if you suck at it at first. Then you'll gain the satisfaction of teaching yourself something, as well as getting satisfaction from doing something you love.

    You said that you have nothing good in your life right now. I don't know if that's completely true, but even if it is...you can take opportunities to inject new, good things into your life. When life tears everything away from you, sometimes its actually an opportunity to add a bunch of excellent new stuff.

    Good luck, and I hope you find some happiness!

    And you didn't "wreck your chances" for higher schooling. Look into getting a GED, then go to a community college for 2 years, then transfer to a good 4 year school, then apply to graduate school.

    Believe it or not, society does not give kids until the age of 18 to choose how the rest of their lives will play out. There's a lot of second chances until you reach 30. Take advantage of them now.

    Consider getting disqualified from the army a stroke of luck. You don't really wanna get blown up do you?

    Instead, go to college, then graduate school. Be something. The very fact that you feel like a failure shows you care about your future. That means you're way ahead of the game compared to most other 18 year olds that couldn't care less.

    You know there are many accredited four year colleges that will accept you regardless of your high school grades....
