I (23f) am sure that everyone is going through some version of this and I feel guilty for feeling down because I have so much to be grateful for. But since I am feeling this way and I don't have anyone to talk to, here we are. I moved in with my parents in March, I have been in online grad school and studying for a licensing exam since then. I am really close with my younger siblings but they are both out of state at college now. My parents are great but I really really dislike the area they live in (no outdoor activities, all young families, no culture, nothing going on). I have a few high school friends left here but they are very busy so I only see them occasionally. I haven't stayed in touch with many college friends, just a FaceTime here and there. I thought that this year I would have the opportunity to move to a new city and start joining activities and reinvent myself so to speak. Obviously that has not been possible. I start a job in January, it is based on the West Coast. Since I will start remotely, I will do the financially responsible thing and continue to live at my parents until work starts in person. I don't think dating is good idea right now (living with my parents, anticipating moving in the next year, etc.) even though I would really like to be in a relationship.
TL;DR: It worries me that my social circle is so small, I feel powerless to change my situation. I am scared I have lost my early twenties and won't get this time back. I feel so bored and lonely. If you were in my position, what steps would you be taking to fix this situation?
