is it too late for me now

too late to make something of my life and find a female partner for companionship? someone on my previous post said i'm 'getting up there in years now'....and i was concerned time is running out for me? i'm now 47 years old.

i have had a hard adult life but my childhood was wonderful, unfortunately i missed out on so much...because of my hardships and mental struggles...missed out on having a job, meeting people, having fun, having a girlfriend and many other things in life....i did have quite a few flings with girls but never a relationship.

anyway what do you think? i realise i'm getting up there in years but is it truly over for me?

47 is not too late. Not by a long shot.

You’ve been through pain and setbacks, and that matters. It shapes you—but it doesn’t define your future. Having a hard adult life doesn’t cancel your potential. If anything, it gives you a kind of wisdom and depth that can make meaningful relationships more real!
What someone said about your age might’ve hurt—but don’t let it shrink your vision. You’re still here. That means your story isn’t over.
