> i see other young founders getting funding, users , at the other side people landing jobs , internships , great scores, some are enjoying their collage life with friends. i sometimes just feel very sad about my life idk where my path will lead me
Firstly, remember that for the most part (particularly online), people only show you what makes them look happy, successful, beautiful, smart, etc. and leave out unpleasant truths. Sometimes people even just lie. This gives the impression that they have blessed lives, but that's very nearly never actually true. Often those people who try to give the impression it is have less of the good stuff than usual. Make no mistake, the most successful, happy, beautiful, smart people in the world also have their dark stuff and often don't see themselves the way they want the world to see them.
Be very cautious about comparing your life with others. You don't have enough information to do that reliably.
You're very young. Nobody knows where their path will lead them, particularly at your age. That isn't something wrong, that's normal human life. Embrace the uncertainty, because that's where opportunity lives. Your best life may not look anything like what you think it will look like (but also, it might). If you try to force a preset vision too hard, you might miss it. And, at your age, you have tons of runway left. You can afford to be a bit experimental.
My suggestion to you is to set aside time every day where you leave the computer, go out into the world, and really interact with people. Regular people doing regular things. Not techie or entrepreneurial types and not with even a hint of thinking of it as "networking" or similar.
If you're the type who can't do this without structure (which is most people), then join a hobby group, take classes in something non-technical, do volunteer work, etc. Anything that makes you interact and work with others, in person.
