<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I'm at a quarrel with myself. I spent the last 12 months doing virtually nothing and have made no steps to improve myself and have finally made the turn around and started university, a new job and just generally trying to better myself. I have a goal in mind of where I want to be with myself in the coming year, but I don't know how to get there. So my plan is to perhaps drop out of university and focus on this goal and hopefully, reach it by the end of next year, or at least come close to reaching it.

My goal is to essentially grow the hell up. I've been a boy for a while now and I want to become a man. I'm twenty years old and I've noticed a lot of my feelings haven't matured. I grew up in what I'd like to surmise as an unstable situation. As a result I've grown to be unstable myself. I make impulsive decisions on just about every aspect of my life and most certainly end up regretting the place I've put myself in as a result of these choices (not the decision, just where I end up). I'm insecure and constantly feeling that I need to have a sense of want from someone else. I can't function alone and almost always require attention and approval from those around me. I'm not a dominant person and almost always take the submissive route.

So what should I do? Drop out and work more and focus on myself (yes I know maturity comes with time, but I feel like I'm behind and I really have this internal struggle between staying at where I am now or focusing on myself) or stay in university and continue the way I am while growing only slowly.
<bot>: Feel like a child, want to be more of a man, not sure what approach I should take to get there. Please help. Any advice is appreciated.
