Do you think most of us are in a QLC because of work or social?

I 100% think the same thing! I think more people than we realize are under the impression that everyone but us is out living these fabulous fun filled lifes, that include parties, tons of friends and always things to do.
Its just hard to realize that its not "just me"

At first I thought 'work', but then really I think it's both. It doesn't help that I'm turning 30 soon, so it's a whole 'is this really where I imagined myself to be around now?'

Mine is mainly work, but it's slowly starting to affect my social life. I'm pretty happy with my life in general, but I feel ashamed that I lost my job, even though it was beyond my control. Lately, I've been wanting to isolate myself from everyone because I don't want to hear the dreaded "How's the work search" question.

In the last 2 and a half years it's always been one or the other - when I had a boyfriend and friends to hang out with I had a crappy job, when I had a good job I had no social life outside of my co-workers.

And now I feel like I'm finally growing up and getting to terms with it but I have neither a good job nor a social life. My life is kind of in limbo, but I feel more hopeful than ever. I have a feeling I'm going to start doing well at work as I have been applying to some good jobs and I am starting to get interviews now, whereas before I wouldn't even hear back from them to say I have been rejected.
