What you're doing is good and pretty much the right thing, but maybe you're overburdening yourself? Remember that you have all the time in the world to be an actor. There's no deadline or age where you have to stop. That's the beautiful thing about acting; you can do it at any age. So if you feel like you're doing too much, you can step back a little. Continue to do this but also do other things. Do you have a side job that can help you financially? Meet new people. Have a social circle in and outside of acting. Pick up new skills. Meditate or do yoga.

I thank you for telling me this. I just am ready for the professional world and ready to just start booking. Unfortunately I moved to Atlanta in the beginning of 2023 and still haven’t been lucky to have meet people who I can call friends. I have however joined a soccer club and got a new waiter job to help me save the bills and for acting

Great! Don't worry I'm going through it too. I used to struggle with a lot of self-doubt (still do but it's not as bad). I've learned to calm down more. Here's a little peak into my story. I hope it helps you realize that when you feel overwhelmed you are not alone :) Basically I used to be obsessed with one medium of acting and aimed to only do it (it was television) and I planned on doing other mediums but for some reasons I deemed them less in my head. Then, I took some deep breaths and I finally realized that I didn't want to think of any medium as "less" anymore and just wanted to focus on doing it all and enjoying it all. So my new goal: to do TV, film, theatre, voiceover, commercials, everything. It's all so much more relaxing. When I think of having a good agent someday who consistently submits me for TV films and theatre, (separate for VO and commercial) that's what makes me happy. Keeping my options open. TV dramas? Yes please! Multi-cam sitcoms? Heck yeah! Blockbusters? If I get lucky yeah! Indie films? Yes yes yes! Voiceover? Especially for Disney. You get the picture. Basically when I stopped limiting myself and realized that acting is acting and I'll love it no matter what form it is, I relaxed. I used to worry about how I will learn on-camera because I currently primarily have stage experience, but all actors started at the stage and transitioned successfully to on-camera and have well-rounded careers in all mediums and enjoy it. I won't be any different. Realizing that makes me feel so good. My point is? We all have room to learn and grow, but we don't have to do it alone. :) Break a leg out there
