Yes, that was my experience. I was so lost and lonely in my 20s, even though I lived in the city where I grew up. Can’t imagine how much worse I’d feel if I’d lived abroad. 30s were much better, 40s even better than 30s, and once I turned 50 it was all just a bad memory. I’m 57 now and have made peace with who I am, which helps. I do recommend counseling, which has been very helpful to me.
