People who had a quarter-life crisis in their 20's, did you do right to stress? (lemmy.ml)

Without going into too much detail...

21
Dropped out of Uni (ie. I've started falling behind 'the pack')
Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
Not fully settled on a specific career
Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.

I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.

Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring

What caused you to move to the other side of the world?

I think about moving away sometimes but I have quite strong roots where I am in terms of family and friends and I'm not sure how well I could handle leaving that behind and ending up alone somewhere
