I can empathize with the dilemma.
If the feeling of “I’m a nobody) is a recent turn of events, you may be able to work it out on your own by getting advice from places like Quora, reading a self-help book, journaling, or talking to friends.

Anything I can offer would be based on projecting myself back into my 22 year-old situation and asking the question, “What would I have done differently?”
