Lonely Young Adult Feels Stuck in Life
Dear Abby | September 20th, 2025 | Letter 2 of 3
DEAR ABBY: I am 29 and on the autism spectrum, and I live with my parents. I work a full-time job I enjoy and help my folks out financially wherever I can, but my life feels like it is at a dead end. I have wanted to go back to college, but I often wonder if it's even worth it anymore. On top of that, my two best friends abandoned me, and I can't shake off my loneliness. I want to be successful and meet new people, but I have no idea what to do or where to go from here. Is there still hope? -- LOST CAUSE IN GEORGIA.
DEAR LOST CAUSE: You are only 29! If you think that furthering your education will enhance your career opportunities, avail yourself of the opportunity. You are single and don't have children to support, so this is the time to go for it. As to your loneliness, you are socially isolated right now. Getting out and into activities that interest you will enhance your chances of meeting like-minded people. You may be depressed, but you are NOT a lost cause. Of course there is still hope!
