I see this advice often, and in most cases it's true. But most people with these issues are young and have lots of time to turn things around. I'm 40 and had my chances and blew all of them.

I immigrated for the second time in my late 30s and lost all my friend circle all over again and then found new ones. There's a lot of people in the world so no reason to stop looking.

Always time to change, even if you only get a few years to enjoy it. I respect the dejectedness though.

Dude I'm almost 42 and have had this mentality for most of my life, but am still making new friends. Defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don't mistake that for it being correct initially.
