[quote=Anonymous]This is not meant to be harsh in anyway. But you kind of coasted your 20s and now you are regretting it.  (yes slogging though the firm was hard but it was the same thing and you had expectations for the end of that road and they didn't pan out which is a combo of the current job climate and bad luck).not having any failures early sets one up for expectations of things wiring out easily and that's really hard to get over especially now when nothing is fuaranteed post college even with hard work. In full disclosure I did the same thing but was very lucky that I like my job and managed to stay there (not high profile by any means but I like what I do and I was and still am a little lucky.) but my HS and early college sucked as I was still shy and with bad skin and struggled with school for a bit so I don't have anything awesome to reminisce about. 
I agree with the PPs. Try something new. New hobby, group, meetup etc. lots of people in their 30s not paired up and wanting to shake it up. Make and effort to invite people over or out to things even if it's just a hike. And don't underestimate the benefits of getting involved in something for others. A dog shelter or a Nursing home reading/visiting group. Others and the world respond when you put effort into it. I've volunteered with a group for 6 years and while I haven't gotten a ton of friends out of it it makes me feel like I've contributed every week and not wasted the energy I have right now.
