I know that I'm only 18 years old and that people my age almost never truly know what they want to do with their lives, but I just feel so frustrated all of the time. I have absolutely no plans for a future career or job (I work as a desk attendant in my dorm building at the moment.). My "hobbies" essentially amount to playing video games and mindlessly surfing the Internet. Of course, having Asperger's also means that my other interests rotate like crazy. At the beginning of the summer, I was incredibly interested in jigsaw puzzles. Now, I have a 3-D puzzle in a box under my desk that I can't be bothered to touch. I'm terrified that nothing will ever satisfy me, that no matter what I do in the future, I'll be plagued with self-doubt and "what if" questions that'll intensify until I either die of stress or have a mental breakdown and end up in a psych ward. What do I do about this?

Plenty of people much older than you don't have job goals

When I was 21 , I pretty much have up on "life"
