> most of the people here can’t even get a basic school degree

You're in your 20s, live with mommy and want to start a company in a field you have no skills, education, ability or training in. Sit down.

Get a job and move out.

If you can't find a job, you're not looking hard enough.

Your 'grinding' is just life. Going to the gym and reading is the absolute bare minimum baseline.

It also shows you have nothing else going on otherwise you wouldn't put such emphasis on nothing. It's like saying you get dressed every day, ok and?

Quit with your 'circle' bullshit, you're trying to focus on other people instead of yourself. It dilutes what little effort you're making (and is literal textbook projection, your friends are doing just fine, you project onto them).

You have zero social skills, 'small talk' (human interaction) is stupidly important.

Find a tech meetup (or any subject you're actually passionate about, don't chase the money) It's trite, but do what you love and the money finds you, meet a girl, make friends.

Maybe most importantly, dump your lists and your 20/80 shit. Just live your life. Everything happens if you let it.

Not worded in the friendliest way, but given OP is a direct person, perhaps this is the right medicine. Because there's a lot of wisdom here. I don't see any grinding in the original post, just coasting. Welcome to adult life, I guess. And finding others with the exact same set of passions and aspirations is not likely to result in any success - that should have become apparent after multiple attempts. It's totally OK to have friends with no overlapping interests and interests with no friends to share them.

This cannot be upvoted enough. You won't succeed if you are doing things wrong or worse doing the wrong thing. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing by building a 'circle' or chasing AI startups without specific product or service to solve some real world pain points while also lacking the skills .

This is a solid advice, listen to it.
