I just wrote this.. someone give me some hope!

[quite.foolish]

I'm 25 in a few weeks.. Everything is fked!

 

 

 

Spent virtually seven years in social isolation, no friends to speak of really and don't know how to make other 'real' friends.. sure, I have no problem chatting to people, but when it comes to real friends.. How do I make those?

 

 

 

I'm not working at the moment, I have no education..

 

 

 

I not-so-recently fell out with a girl who has been important to me since I was fifteen (having a REAL hard time coming to terms with that) so badly that I can't ever say "Hi" to her again - long story, but it's farked beyond any kind of repair, and chances are I never find another I vibe with like her, kicked myself a bunch of times while I was down, threw away everything of a friendship with her. Fked the lot - It's just shot. My whole life, shot!

 

 

 

Feel like I've wasted the best years of my life (18-24), thrown away important friendships, bent out of shape, broke, with a bad history of causing problems.. Fked!

 

 

 

How do I get this sht back on track? I want to be happy! I want a life!! I don't want to end up that sad, lonely old man that hasn't done anything! What can I do?!

Live.

 

Get a job. Consider going to school. Work out (gym or sports team). Get a hobby.

 

These should keep you busy, improve you in many ways, and put you around people to interact.

Can you learn a trade? Community colleges have things like that. Electrician, heating and air conditioning, plumbing jobs are always in demand.

 

Volunteer at an animal shelter or some other charity. It could lead to work and your self-esteem will be repaired somewhat in the mean time. Animals don't judge you!

One thing you should know. Please, please try to put into perspective just how young you still are. This is just the beginning and it's way too soon to be taking serious stock of your life.

Set small short term goals. Take a few classes, get a hobby. Just be open to meeting people and trying new things. Join a boxing gym or something. I'm telling you it is never too late to do anything and your so young. I went back to school at 42yrs old because at your age I thought I was too old.
