Hi Deneb
First, I have to say finishing your degree AND working is amazing. I am incredibly impressed by that.
I divorced back in 2004 and I have had to live with my father since then. I've had one fulltime job that lasted for a little over a year and now I'm unemployed again. Most of my troubles stem from inappropriate bipolar reactions to stressful situations. I shoot myself in the foot most of the time. Anyway, if it weren't for my Dad, I'd be out on the street too and I'm 38 years old. I just keep telling myself that leaning on my parent is going to help me build a future for myself. It's just something I need right now.
As for making friends, I cant manage that either. I think I've made a friend only to discover that he/she is a liar and doesn't mean anything they say. I'm not sure that having friends is all it's cracked up to be anyway.
Sounds like you didn't do anything terrible at the vegetarian meet up. Not like we all haven't been tongue-tied at a social gathering. I'm sure no one noticed but you.
Try not to be too hard on yourself. You're under a tremendous amount of stress IMO, with working on your degree and working and just living your life. I say "Way to Go" for managing all that.
