Feeling Lost

I’m 20 years old, and I feel so lost in my life. I took a LOA this semester from college in order “find myself.” I traveled to 5 European countries over the span of 2 weeks. This trip was amazing, but now that I’m back home, I feel like I fell back to where I was before— lost and confused. Making friendships is hard for me because I find it difficult relating with people my age, yet I crave connection. I would go back to college, but going back feels like a waste of time because I’m not passionate about my major. I’ve researched countless careers and nothing has ever seemed like something I want to spend the rest of my life doing. I try my best to remain positive. I do yoga and meditation often, yet I can’t seem to suppress this fear. While I feel somewhat contented with my life now, I fear this how I will be forever— lonely and unfulfilled. I desperately crave fulfillment, purpose, and connection, yet these things are so difficult for me to imagine.

I guess my question is, does anyone know how to stop this feeling? I want to be happy, but it’s difficult when my life feels so unguided. I feel like I’m alone walking down a desert path without a compass trying to find my way to water.
