I’m new to Reddit .. I’m trying to build friends here in Jeddah (female) only and for also to have options and ideas about my bath way in life

I’m 26 F Syrian born and raised in Jeddah have iqama I didn’t finish high school for reasons
And now I’m facing difficulties with finding what suits me to start building my life close to what I wanna call freedom but also making money to grow and live as a person who has rights
I’m confused from where to level up
Where to move? Where to go ? Any other country that won’t challenge me without putting pressure and acting racist ? Where to start and how ? Can you people give me your options ? or if there is related story to mine ?

I will not take anything serious until I see if it’s really useful and sounds logic …

I just want to survive from this world with my own self …

Thank you all

I hate to mention this, but sometimes life gets so tough that you just need to hear a few words that might ease the sadness taking over you. Anyway, I joined here to share my journey and hear some honest, genuine opinions.
I’m a 26-year-old Syrian woman, born and raised in Saudi Arabia. Now, as time passes and the world keeps changing, I’ve been having so many concerns.
I didn’t finish high school, so I’ve never really had a clear vision for my career.
I’m trying to improve my English and learn German in case I get a chance to improve my life.
Staying here makes me feel stuck in every direction.
Even if I want to attend a course in any field, it requires a high school diploma. On top of that, I can’t go back to school, and job opportunities are becoming more limited day by day.
So, if you were in my position, where would you start?

‏ ‏I'm a 25-year-old woman, and honestly, I've been struggling to find where I truly belong.
I'm a foreigner living in one of the Gulf countries (I'd rather not mention which one). Lately, I've realized how difficult it is to build a future here when you're starting completely from scratch.
The biggest obstacle is education. I never finished high school, and that alone closes so many doors. Many programs, courses, and opportunities require qualifications that I simply don't have. Sometimes it feels like I can't even take the first step.
What hurts the most is feeling like I'm watching my twenties disappear without building anything meaningful. I don't want to wake up years from now realizing I only existed instead of actually living.
The thing is... I'm genuinely curious about so many subjects. I enjoy learning, I like staying active, and I don't mind working hard. I'm interested in business, languages, geography, science, design, and many other fields. My problem isn't a lack of motivation—it's that I don't know where to begin, and every path seems blocked before I can even try.
I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm looking for direction.
If you were in my position—with no high school diploma, living abroad, wanting to build a real future from scratch—what would you do first?
Would you stay and keep trying where you are, or would you seriously consider moving to another country with better opportunities?
Are there countries that offer realistic pathways for people like me to study, gain qualifications, or build a career even without a traditional education?
What skills would you focus on?
What opportunities would you look for?
How would you rebuild your life if you had to start over?
I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have been in a similar situation or who know about countries, programs, or opportunities that could help someone start from zero.
Thank you.
