I will admit that the problem I will list out here is a “first-world problem,” but hear me out please. Some advice would be really helpful.
I went to college, got my bachelors/masters (along with lots of loans that I’ve now started to pay off), and entered a good career field. I like my profession and the versatility and the fact that I can pick up and go almost anywhere with it. At the moment, I am living in the city where I went to college, but have no idea what I’m going to do for my future. I’m not sure if I want to stay here. I have zero family here, and many of the friends that I made in college moved away after graduation. I have a few friends left, or should I say, acquaintances that I sometimes hang out with. I will admit I keep an emotional distance from people and that that’s one of the reasons why I haven’t formed close friendships in this city. Basically, I have nothing really holding me here except my job and my comfort zone. After all, I’ve been here six years in total, and have a good network. But where do I go from here? As it stands, all I have going in my life is my career. My immediate family lives about 4 hours away and I visit sometimes but my step-dad and I do not get along, so I don’t visit as often as I would like. Sometiems, I just feel really alone. All my co-workers have some kind of “base” here – family, significant others, etc. If I had that, I would be more at peace and more stable. I’m at an age where I should be thinking about settling down (I’m 23), but how can I do that if I haven’t found my niche? I feel so alone sometimes. I’m not sure what to do.
Any thoughts on someone going through a “quarter-life crisis”? Not sure if that’s what I’m experiencing but I’m sure as hell at a roadblock right now with regard to where I want my life to go. Lack of family/boyfriend/close friends in my area also makes me more restless.

If you don’t then why? How do you handle them?
I know my mom can not stand my step dads childhood friend because he is a total douchebag. She prefers not to be in his presence and I can’t blame her.
Anywho, I just lost my very good guy friend because of his cousins. I really really cared and loved him a lot. We were taking our relationship to the next level. Anyway, he is very close to his cousins. But they are total losers. One of them got out of jail two years and the other is an alcoholic. They both have no jobs, gang affiliated and live off their poor mother. My friend thinks they are so cool and loves talking to about them being in a gang. I just change the subjects. They thing he is so the opposite from them. Hell he even served our country in the military for 6 years. I never talked bad about them in front of him or was rude to them. However, my friend thought it would be cool if we all could hang out together frequently. Anyway, it blew up his face when me and his cousins got into an argument a couple of months ago over money. Since then my friend and I have not spoken. I’m pretty bummed about it.
