>be me a long time go around 18-20>finished school, have a large group of friends>no responsibilities during a fun period of life>for some reason I have a thing against clubbing/partying and never really take part>during this time I also neglect to make friends>I also live at home and am from a poor family in a dump of a house, so I also neglect dating due to fear of having to take a girl back to my place>fast forward to early 20s friend group is staring to drift apart>actually take part in a little more of the drinking party culture with friends I have left, find out I enjoy it>friend group continues to drift apart though, can maybe count the times I've been out clubbing on one hand>at the same time I decide to enrol in college>completely neglect any social interaction during this time, just focus on my studies>friendship group eventually completely breaks>now find myself 27, no friends, never had a gf, and I'm fat and balding>overwhelming sense that I wasted the best years of my lifeIs careermaxing and lifemaxing to set yourself up for an enjoyable time in your 30s actually possible? I've read before that the prime for a man's life is in his 30s which and it's the only thing keeping me going from the faint glimmer of hope that my life may turn around in my 30s once I graduate, settle into my career, and then I can possibly start dating, but I feel like that's copium and in reality I'll never get back the best years of my life that were meant to be spent partying and indulging in young love.
