[quote=Anonymous]I have been reading your posts since you were in college and I relate to them.  I definitely felt like a failure to launch at 24 and I don’t think that’s uncommon.  You have to get away from your parents though because they are only making you feel worse.  But I suspect that your parents do love you and just don’t really have the emotional tools to help you in this situation.  Get a job, any job, and move up from there.

Nothing is as big of a deal as it seems from your position.  No high school friends- big deal.  I don’t even remember anything about most of the people I went to high school with.  No college friends- also not a big deal.  I also felt like you and 15 years later I have plenty of friends.

Go easy on yourself.  There’s a lot to enjoy about life that you can’t enjoy when you focus on the negative.  Nature, good food, hobbies.  Find what you like about living and pursue it wholeheartedly.  I suspect that what your therapist calls a weak sense of self comes from constantly trying to live up to someone else’s expectation of who you should be.  Who do you want to be?  What do you want your life to look like and how can you get that?[/quote]
