Feel Incapable

in Work & Study
I have been feeling incapable of loads of stuff like careers because my gcses i failed and other stuff ive struggled with in the past, I'm worried what im going to do in the future. I just sometimes cant sleep because of the stress. I'm am 21 and 22 on July 11th so soon years old dont have a full time job yet, failed my GCSE's twice when retaking, still a virgin, no girlfriend, only just finishing at college, no gcses, no a levels and I just dont know anything Im good at. I dont like college, im finishing soon, im not going back because i don't know what its got me tbh. I just have to start sorting out my future now ive finishing college but i don't know what to because i don't want to do anything like get a job I dont like, while others are getting around in better jobs that they like. Ive been in college which i haven't liked. I didnt like getting up to go and I feel like I'll be doing that for the rest of my life getting up everyday to go to a job i dont like most of my days. I know its reality to most people, its just a lot of people I know are self employed like family or people in jobs they like. I just want to do well too, i want to be self employed but i worry it wont work out then I'll have to go back to college or a 9 to 5 job i dont like or both.
I just don't want to go back to college to retake my gcses at like 25 like saying my self employed thing had failed now so can I come back to college, not like there's anything wrong with it but I think like gcses are for school kids, I don't really want to be 23, 24, 25 plus trying to get them. I want to get out of college. My mum just wants me to get a job like retail but I feel like a job like a minimum paid job like McDonald's. I want to do something self employed and that I like but I feel incapable.
