Honestly, it sounds like the only reason you stay here is because you don't know what else to do. That's a shit reason to stay anywhere.
Dwelling on past regrets is the biggest waste of time, ever. Get off your arse, and make something of yourself. The only way you're going to prove to the 'haters', and to yourself for that matter, that you're worth a shit is to do something..
Don't bitch, don't post, don't complain. Just fucking do it. Up and leave. Remember what it felt like at 20 years old to take chances and make changes.
Just - fucking - do it.

True dat shit, and good advise!
After college, while working online part time. I worked in telco full time. I made good money, but I could not stand it. I was union, then management, then changed companies, and they started moving to micro management, and I left to start my own company.
I had my celebrity site making me some coin, and some other online ventures as well. So I was not going out completely on the hook. But it was a rough road the first few years. 18 hour days, 7 days a week until I hit my groove and have been rocking since. I also went though 10 years of drinking myself into oblivion because I was unhappy with my life, work, and so forth.
All that changed, and I wanted to be self employed. I wanted to live and die on my own sword. I wanted to never work for anyone again. Rise and fall at my own times. Live by my own rules. That was motivation enough for me.
I have had many many failures. However I have many more successes now. For all the ball busting I take from the board trolls. I could give a shit. I make some nice money on the content, the consulting, the ad network, and so forth. Regardless that most read the negative, it just gives me more press and people contact me on ICQ about business.
It affords me a lot of luxeries in remodling my house, working on some new projects, and so forth. So is it worth it? I mean, taking bullshit on the message boards? Yep.
I am not here to argue. I am not here to be your pal. I am here to do business. I am busy working my nut on the forums to make that coin. I do not care if someone doesn't like my ideas, think they are stupid, or whatever. I know what works. I would not offer my service, or guarantees if they didn't.
In the end... you only have to face yourself in the mirror BRO.
