First replier has got the right idea, all that shit you feel has to go somewhere, better to channel it into positive things than let it overcome and ruin you.

Get a job if you're doing nothing, part time if you've chosen college.

Get lifting while you're still young enough to get that sweet adolescent gainz bonus.

And never stop learning, it's a difficult road but you've got to be positive and accept and embrace the mistakes that brought you here.

Be strong brother, we're here for you.

reading trp for a while now but not acting on it enough..

Trp isn't about acting upon some ideology. It's about completely changing the way you view the world and becoming a whole new person.

m18 ... wasted the last 7ish years

Is this to say your 18 and you've been chasing since 11? If so then your really not in that bad of a position. Your still young and have plenty of time.

Are you working and/or pursuing your dream career? Also it sounds like you have issues with approaching women, so get out and practice talking to random strangers. Work up your courage.

I feel very angry and disgusted with myself for the choices i made.

You don't have to like what you did, but you do have to accept that you did it. You can't undo the damage but you can accept that you've moved beyond that mindset.

no friends, car, job, just living with my parents.

I have one or two good friends. Folks you can actually count on are far more important than multitudes of acquaintances.

Post modern culture, baby boomers and some other culprits have completely fucked your job opportunities over with bullshit like jacking up the minimum wage. It took me months to find a summer job back in high school and after college I spent almost 8 in the drudgery of shitty jobs until I landed my first "real" one. The idea that you haven't had a job and still live with your parents isn't as much of a problem as you think it is, and it is increasingly normal. I'd avoid full on NEET behavior- look for a job, enroll at a local community college. Focus on busting your ass for good grades in math and science. If you cant hack it there, look into a trade like plumbing or being an electrician. Avoid the humanities trap for college, for-profit colleges and good god do not take out loans for education. That debt is virtually impossible to get away from.

And cars are a waste of money. A necessary waste in many cases, but a waste none the less. Not having one isn't a huge deal- I didn't have my own car till several months after I landed my first "real" job.

Idk what to do with myself maybe i'm depressed.

You're not depressed, you're bored. Repetition, especially when it's repetitions of nothing, dull the mind and feed into negative feelings. It was pretty soul tearing for me when I was firing off tens of hundreds of applications for jobs where for 50 sent I might hear back on one, and otherwise burning my life away on video games and other time wasters.

Pick up a hobby, look for work, start putting your mind towards a trade, or higher education.
