Get your own place, with your own room as soon as you can safely pay for it, and find roommates that you feel like you can get along with, as well as ones that seem responsible enough to clean up after themselves and pay rent
Dont feel pressured into staying in a relationship or a job; youve got plenty of time for self exploration and discovering the person you want to be.

Just so you know, these conflict heavily. The point of living with your parents is to reduce your cost of living. The lower your expenses, the less obligated you have to meet those expenses, the more freedom you have to choose to do what you want. If you're stuck in a job you hate, having rent looming over your head going to give you endless excuses to stay and be miserable and waste years of your life. I'm partially in the situation now but I cope as my paycheques fund more lucrative opportunities for me and I have a lot of time on my hands to commit to my hobbies.

My 2 cents:

Part of the process of learning is being an idiot and trying new things. I'm sure everyone has heard about that one guy who they believe is dumb as rocks and they come and find out that one guy is super successful and now they want to do the same thing he's doing. The reason why he got ahead is because he tried. You don't need to know everything about a subject to succeed in it, you just need to know how to get the answers the questions you have about it. To do this, it generally requires you to look like you're dumb as rocks and ask the questions in the first place. So learn humility and be willing to look like an idiot. It'll pay off.

This requires legitimate ambition or, somewhat, desperation, but I would recommend learning to invest. You don't need thousands of dollars starting out, even $20 will do, especially in the crypto world. When you learn to invest, you're exposing yourself to the frontlines of innovation in technology, you'll learn about the history of money and you'll understand the dynamics of how these countries interact, and why we go into war.
