[quote=Anonymous]Well dayummmmm
I would hazard a guess that she may not be proud of you either.
As a parent, your  goal should be to guide , support and to provide wisdom for their growth, not sit in your a**es waiting for them to make you proud. 
She is 21 for God’s sake, not 61.
She is still trying to figure it, her prefrontal cortex is still not fully developed( and neither is yours from the sound of it)

She sounds like with her social and academic struggles there could be an underlying issue, ADHD, Autism spectrum, paralyzing anxiety, any number of things.
Do you talk to her about how she feels or just about how YOU feel about what you perceive as her lack of accomplishments?
Have you suggested therapy and made it clear you would support her in that journey?
Have you made it clear that she seems to be struggling and that you are here to help in whatever way she needs?
Have you told her that you love her for HER, not anything she does or does not do?
Momma you need some help realizing that parenting is not an ego fest![/quote]
