One of the biggest mistakes I made in life was trying to prove my worth rather than just trying to find a place where I was wanted. Try to find a decent job for the cost of living in an area. You'll know in six months whether people want you there or not. Don't stay where you aren't wanted. This applies to everything: shopping areas, living space, and employment. The first step in being valued is being paid enough to afford to save and live somewhere safe.
Good advice. I would add to spend time trying list out what is important to you and than qualify any potential place against that list. My List is very long at this point and only a few places in the world were even left. I am happy where I’m at. At op’s age. It will take a bit of searching and seeing to truly understand what is important to him. Things come up you didnt know before, add it to the list and move on if unhappy.
