Yea it is very normal. I think we get to a point pretty quickly as young adults where it seems the forced schedule is over for us (high school and parents). Now we're supposed to be able to do whatever we want, or more importantly, whatever we are 'meant' to do. The problem comes in waiting for it to find us as opposed to going out and chasing it...or at least exploring around a bit. I have a friend that drove across the country just to clear his head and open himself up to any possibilities that could come his way. I've personally experienced the extreme of both ends (chasing vs. waiting)and honestly I'm still recovering mentally from the waiting part. If you're not careful, waiting will slowly morphe you into that lazy, depressed, scared person you NEVER thought you could ever become.
Is it normal to feel trapped?
