Should I try to talk to my friend about this?
My friend and I are one year apart (she's 29, I'm 28) and we've been friends since I was 9. As children, I was very bold, she was timid. She was an only child and I have an older brother. I enjoyed having privacy, and to this day, she still sleeps on a twin bed in her parents' room despite having a large bedroom of her own. I'm married, have a stable job, and my husband and I moved across the country soon after we got married. I feel like my life is going places and my dreams are coming true. My friend is still living at home, works as a volunteer, does not have a paying job, is still in college with no degree, and has not had any boyfriends, nor does she show any interest in building a life of her own. Her parents are both retired, and she is their only child. I love her dearly, but I worry if I should try to talk to her about this. It bothers me that she seems completely content to be nearing 30 with no plans to move forward. She is the sweetest woman and I don't want to come across as hurtful or disloyal. I just can't help but notice the huge differences and it makes me concerned for her future. However, she is also extremely sensitive and I don't want to hurt her feelings.
