My life was pretty "oridinary" after I finished school.
I had much easier start than most of people I know. I got to work for my dad. It isn't my dream job and it definitely is not something I am going to do for my entire life but it allows me to pay for my needs and for my school so I am satisfied with it (even if sometimes I really dislike what is happening here). During first two years after school I also still had lots of friends who I can meet so being alone was not an issue back then. Only issue was huge disappointment about a school I've chosen.
On 2nd year of that school I was seriously considering leaving it. Only thing that kept me back was the fact that parents would be... furious. I hated it, because I learned nothing and got good grades anyway for no reason at all. I hated it, because my group was doing some kind of stupid rat race just to get silly money from school. Money that was about 1/20 of what they had to pay for it. I hated it, because it took almost every weekend I had and in process took away most of my free time.
Eventually I said myself that I will not be in school like this and decided to leave it. Of course parents were angry. Really angry. Dad considered even throwing me away from house and all that made me really sad (especially since it was combined with other very bad event with crush I had back then involved). But I left it anyway. Of course dad did nothing, after all those were just another tough words not backed up by any action so I carried on without school from that time on thinking on what to do now.
Eventually it all affected my mood heavily, I began to wonder if I did right choice and started questioning myself a lot. That had very negative impact on my social skills and quality of my work when I was in the office (it never was perfect, but I blame procrastinating which is my huge problem for that). I was unable to concentrate on anything and just carried on unable to even meet my friends pretty often, because they already started leaving town (no jobs here so they have little choice if they want independence or just normal life without having to depend on parents fully).
Then last year I've found new school. It was not far from my town (40-50 km) and it sounded like it would actually be much better from the one I had last time so without much thinking I signed in there. I had hopes about it (engineering is now valued a lot) but also fears (I would know literally nobody there and with my shyness it is very difficult to make friends with only strangers around You). Also in the meantime I joined mlpforums which was one of better decisions I've made
And then... well, first day in school, of course no familiar face but I eventually managed to get over my shyness on the very first day. I made my first friend and with him I got to know more people. So... *almost* everything is back on right track now. I still have almost no people to meet here, but from time to time I can afford meeting friends who live a bit further from my place. Only thing left is procrastinating but that I hope to fight off with help of therapist.
...wow quite a story it is and it is not even detailed
