how do you get over missing out on so much

in my life i have felt for the majority of my adulthood i've been travelling in a remote part of space all by myself, in a vacuum, away from people....i've had such a lot to put up with in my life; mental problems, social problems, self confidence issues.....my mother overprotected me and mothered me too...i'm glad and grateful of that, as i adore my mother.


but because of all my problems i missed out on such a lot- meeting people, forming relationships, being employed, having a job, having fun...i've missed out on so much i tell you, and felt ' out of it' and in a world of my own the majority of my adulthood......i find this to be devastating, as all i ever wanted was to meet people, have fun and form relationships.....just to do the regular things that others do.......but i missed out on that.



my childhood was wonderful and happy,i was well brought up, had my friends....but my adult life was a nightmare.


my question is clear, how can i get over all that and everything i missed out on? now i'm in my late 40s and can never get the time back.

I can tell you from being a person of the opposite sex who also led a life that was exactly opposite to what you have experienced... so far, that you didn't actually miss anything at all. You just haven't caught up to those same experiences in life that I had earlier in the game.
