It's just that I don't fit in anywhere anymore. I don't relate to anyone around me anymore. @Ed At least the things you are doing are something you can look at as valuable. Helping out missionaries and improving the lives of poor people in Uganda. I feel like my life is rather useless right now. Everything I do is just going through the motions. I'm in a holding pattern waiting for something to happen, and yet nothing ever does. @Michael

I seriously don't even know what side of the world to live on. You’re not the only one. I seriously don’t even know what side of the world to live on.

Don't feel blue. I don't think anyone ever really "arrives," either. It just seems to others that they do. If you count me as one of your friends who is settled in a career -- don't! I can see it must be frustrating when many of your friends are married with children and you can't relate. Surely there are several women who would like to help you remedy that situation. Just remember: being unhappily "stuck" in a marriage is a lot worse than being "stuck" single!
