[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. You are not alone. Many people don't have the kind of idealized friendships you see in movies and tv, in college or high school.

2. Your misery is a natural response to your life situation, which is itself miserable. In fact, it would be weirder if you were not miserable.

3. If you want to stop being miserable, you will have to put yourself in situations that are less awful. You hate your job. So quit. Go do something that is more in tune with your interests. You won't starve if you forgo the huge salary. No one should be working 70 hours a week at 22. Go travel. Find a job that pays less but provides work/life balance and makes you feel better about yourself. Meet people. Pick up hobbies.[/quote]

I agree with one, but not three. I suspect this poster has family money.

It’s ok to work sixty hours a week, but you still have time for a social life with that.[/quote]

No family money. But I have always been frugal and happy with very little. And I was never willing to be a slave for money. I had an amazing 20s with lots of travel and education (all scholarships) and fun. Now I am rich.

You don’t have to live like this. I know you think you do, but you don’t. It is a choice.[/quote]
