One of the disadvantages of going with the flow is that you might reach a dead-end at some point in your life. Then will be the time to pause and reflect and make a SWOT analysis of yourself. No satisfying relationships? Maybe it's because you're weird or an sshole. No job? Maybe it's because you're not qualified enough and you haven't tried a lot of things growing up to help you decide what career you wish to pursue. I know I am stating the obvious but maybe you should just take some time to take down your idea of a perfect life. What kind of people would you like to be friends with? What kind of job would you like? What about your partner and family? Any thoughts on them? Start there. Then identify your strengths and during a brainstorming session figure out ways in which you can put them to good use. For example I feel alive when I am writing stuff. I seem to have linguistic intelligence. I enjoy playing with words and my style is rather concise and straightforward. I also enjoy taking photographs, blogging, making simple videos, creating in general. I know that I don't have formal training on the matter but I feel better doing it as an amateur and getting better by the day. In general you should try as many things as possible to see the area you are drawn to and then focus on that. You will have experience in different fields (breath) as well as mastery (depth). Make stuff. Even if it's hitty. The most important thing is that you transmit something. Don't worry about the haters. Just make stuff.
