[quote=Anonymous]22 is a tough age - that transition from college to adulthood is hard! Give yourself some grace.

I’m in my 40’s & remember feeling the way you did then. I hated my first job, & felt a lot of stress around my choice of career. I never had a ton of friends, but my best friend from high school died in a car accident at 23, & my couple of college friends all moved to different parts of the country. It was a really lonely time & I was scared that adult life was basically going to be awful.

Since then, I changed jobs/careers, and made some really good friends from a job I had in my late 20s. Married & gained good friends & family through spouse. Had kids & gained a couple of good friends there, & one good friend that was a neighbor. So I just want to say, you can make really good friends going forward, what you feel now is not permanent.

I think if your work is not a good fit, start searching for a new job. And since you have a job, be very choosy. Look for a place that fits your personality better. You can find good friends at work, so look for a place with a corporate culture that matches yours.

And seriously, this is a tough time, go easy on yourself. For some people maybe early 20s is the greatest ever, but I remember being pretty stressed out then. [/quote]
