I want quick results.

Quick results… maybe try trade school? I’m serious. There are a lot of well paid jobs that you can do after trade school. If your goal is to move out quickly, you need to consider that option.

I already feel so behind at my age, and I hate it.

What’s wrong with your age? There is no age limit on getting an education. You’re 22 right now and worried about being 26 in four years. That’s not logical. What happens when you are 26?

Get your degree, do the work, then get started with your career. Work different part time jobs in the meantime because everything you do in life helps you decide what does or does not interest you. Knowing what you don’t want is useful, but it shouldn’t be your focus.

if I can’t interact with people my age

You can interact with people your age. I think you are basing a lot of your ideas about yourself on teenage you. It would be helpful if you stopped thinking of yourself as being fresh out of high school, and start visualizing where you’d like to be in five years. Much of your post seems to be focusing on what you don’t like, yet you want to get out the house and get on with your life. So start thinking in terms of how to get where you want to be, and not focusing on what you don’t like and what you think you can’t do.

I sense that your previous experience in college makes you feel as though you can’t succeed. Make a commitment to something, and follow through. You will not get what you want quickly, though what seems quick to a 50+ year old (like me) seems slow to a 22 year old. Things do not happen without effort. Earn a degree, or a qualification. The word Earn is appropriate. You need to work towards something and not look for immediate results, but rather what you hope to achieve. Good luck.
