> I dont want to let everyone down

> I isolated myself from friends and family

I promise your friends and family are more let down by you abandoning them then they would be of your startup failing. Most startups fail!

There are a lot of inspirational startup stories where founders only saw failure and misery ahead, pushed through anyway with great personal sacrifice, and then managed to succeed against all odds. But there's a hundred times as many stories of founders who tried the same thing and just lost it all with nothing to show for it (we don't tell those stories as often). Don't lose your health and loved ones in pursuit of an unlikely business venture. You're young and you can always try again later with this experience under your belt.

		It isn't winning or losing. It is just a job that either worked out or did not. And not a waste - even if you all you take away from this is experience and knowledge, that is not a waste.

		You should watch the movie 100 meters. It is not about tech at all but does give an interesting story about the grind.
