Is it normal to feel completely stuck?

I feel like I'm too old to make any changes in my life, to become the person I'm truly meant to be, to develop my potential. I feel like I'm doomed. Stuck. And I'm just 18!

I want someone to convince me that it's not too late, but then I'd just tell myself "hey, if it's not too late, you might as well start making efforts later, whatever" and further waste my time.

I'm miserable. But my misery is at least familiar and I'm scared of challenging myself and making efforts, especially when it seems that pointless.
I feel like my life is already over.

Is it a common feeling? Do other people have similar feelings but just shrug it off and work, instead of wallowing in their precious little angst like me? Ugh.
When is it too late to start learning to be a happy and fulfilled person?

    It seems like you're just in a rut. This happens to me periodically, and it will pass. It is never too late to grow. I used to "feel old" all the time, but just think of your entire life and how much stuff you can do with it. You can make something from nothing. Keep moving forward.

    I felt stuck a couple weeks ago, but that feeling eases off. Just set a goal and take one step at a time towards it. Make it a priority, whatever you want to do, and act as if something terrible will happen if you don't go through with it. It will seem hard and overwhelming at first, so just take a breather and come back to it in a day or two (but keep it on your mind). Things seem to become simpler the more you look at them.

    Ya its normal, I am 24 and I am having a difficult time making changes myself. I have a good job that pays the bills, so there is no hurry, but I hate my job! So I have been trying for about 6 months now!

    Why are you too old and why is it too late? What defines that? Your going to die anyway, might as well give it a shot.
