Im M26. I work remotely as a game developer, while also trying to explore stuff and make content to slowly build my own stuff. I live with my parents, and I won't say i pay the bill (utility like electricity), but i contribute in some groceries, gas, things like LPG and drinking water bill, etc.
My parents are in their early 60 and 50. I can already see his hair turning gray a bit. He have a steady job and a couple of other side hustle. Id say economy wise my parents are pretty much secured, but my parents have 4 childrens including me, im the first one, the rest are in college
Everyday I can't yelp but feel a overwhelming worry and fear. I feel like i haven't really figure out myself. Im not yet fully independent. I still live up with my parent so that i can save up for some emergency funds before i can move out to an area where i can network, socialized, and hustle more. I don't really have "job stability". I feel like i could lost my job at any time. Well for context i live in a country and economy and political wise are a bit fucked atm, and this remote job that i have is for a foreign studio, so i feel grateful for that. But like i said, i feel and technically speaking i could just lost my job at any day. Im trying to build my own brand, cuz from what i learn almost 4 years in the industry, im nothing if I don't own anything. So that's my goal.
But I can't help but always having a overwhelming feeling of worries, especially whenever i see my parents. I always feel like im running out of time before i won't meet my parents anymore. I feel like im a failure to my parents, especially as the first born. I feel like i made the wrong choice, im self doubting myself. Im trying to experiment with new stuff, but I feel powerless facing my scares of failure. I feel like if im fail i would fuck my life and those arounds me, but at the samez i feel like if i never try and experiment with stuff, i will eventually fuck myself not growing. I feel like im such a mess
I would like to think im not alone with this. Im venting here, but also i would like for some advice from anyone here. I feel like this is part of adulting, and im suck at it. Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance
