I am a college student in my early 20s. Lately, Iโ€™ve been realizing how comfortably Iโ€™ve been living โ€” good CGPA, Leetcode grind, a bit of dev work, and hanging with friends I probably chill way too much with, without making any real progress. Maybe itโ€™s just a cope โ€” a distraction from what I truly want. Deep down, I want to step out, meet people who do things, and learn real-world stuff. But my parents canโ€™t stand the idea of failure anymore. After I couldnโ€™t meet their JEE expectations, all they want is a safe government job. But Iโ€™m in my early 20s โ€” how long can I keep playing safe? I recently started spending time alone in a library, trying to think straight. And I realized: Iโ€™m scared to fail, but even more scared to stay the same. I know Iโ€™ve got something in me that wants to break free. How do you start โ€” when failure isnโ€™t an option, but neither is being stuck?
