Anony, seems to me that if you despise everyone there must be a flaw in your perception because "everyone" isn't that perfect? :-) I always raise red flags for myself when I get to using the "all" "everyone" "the other guy" :-) thinking and start looking harder at my thinking rather than the "situation" as I currently see it.

Twenty-five is an okay age, or any time limit if you're doing different things. Just "hoping" things will get better, they probably, at best, will just go along the same (or get worse :-) I'd make a plan of some sort? I think when one gets a bit older, we're so use to start-school-1st-grade-go-12-years-end-school thinking that we think everything is like that but after one gets to be 18, 21, whatever and more on one's own, that all stops and we have to figure out our own interests, routines, and plans. I went through high school then automatically went to college and graduated, 1968-1972, like I was "supposed to." But I only got C's and it wasn't until 1991 that I finally "got it" that I was the only one here, in charge of Me! My stepmother didn't care what grades I got (in 1991), the teacher didn't care, etc., it was what I "wanted."

What do you want for yourself? Make a plan for the next 2 years and work at it and I almost guarantee you'll get there or close? But just waiting for the time to pass like passing time will do all the work won't work?
