This is 10 years of therapy summarized in 1 minute.
Number one, no one is coming to save you. Being a functioning adult means realizing that you are responsible for everything in your life, even if it wasn't your fault.
Number two, strong boundaries make for good relationships. Weak boundaries make drama.
Number three, many of your problems don't get fixed, you just learn how to live despite them.
Number four, your mind lies to you all the time. It will tell you that the world is ending when it's not, that a mistake is fatal when it's not, that everyone is thinking about you and laughing about you when they're not. Learn how to tell your mind to shut the [ __ ] up.
Number five, stop trying to convince people to like you. The right people won't need to be convinced and everyone else is just going to get very annoyed.
Number six, sometimes the best thing you can do is let a dream die. No one likes to hear that, but it's true.
And number seven, only a few people in your life are going to matter in the long run. When you find them, treat them right. Make time for them, keep them close, and be grateful.
