Did I choose the wrong path?

Hi, I got out of high school last year and went to straight to university studying law and arts in australia. I have completed my first year and am awaiting grades from the last exams i did. The past exams made me really stressed to the point i was crying every night (panic attacks. hyperventilating, not sleeping) and regretted choosing law. This was a wake up call for me, it made me wonder if I actually wanted to do law for the rest of my life and I recognised that I havnt liked it throughout the entire year. I have not enjoyed the readings or the cases or learning the law overall, I have some friends at the university but they are “uni friends” rather than actually friends and they have said that they enjoy it sometimes. I have not enjoyed it AT ALL. I’m scared to keep doing this if I can’t handle the pressure and if it will lead to destroying my mental health and sense of worth. I do not know what to do because I barely know my own interests or what I like (other than unproductive things like video games and movies) and i can’t figure that out within 4 months (when I need to go back) and if I go back next year I’m trapped in law due to the student debt. PLEASE tell me ur experiences and what you think I should do.

I've never had a relationship, is something wrong with me?

I'm F19, and I've never had a romantic partner or been on a date. I lie about how far I've gone with someone when they ask, but I've never kissed a person romantically, touched someone's hand or done basically anything. I feel so behind, as all my other friends have had a boyfriend and discuss sex often. For context, I'm an introvert, straight, overweight and I don't have a great relationship with men, unfortunately. This is mostly just a vent to get my feelings out, but am I unlovable? How do I get into a relationship, and how can I be happy when I'm single?
