Hey 'over', I've skimmed through this thread.
...sorry if I misunderstood anything.

But I can certainly relate to being left behind... I'm 30 and just got my learner's permit, I must wait a year for my driver's license. Yes, having a care will cost a lot of money, but at least I'll have the freedom to go where I want and won't feel a burden to friends or a girlfriend, IF I EVER FIND A FRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND.

I live in parents basement, completely alone except for online chats and time at work.
But I find pleasure sometimes in simple things. Discovering new music etc...

I am unhappy alot, but I always remember it's in my head.
Other people really don't think of me the way I do, and slowly I make progress.

You are only 22?? you have alot of time, take it easy on yourself.
