I made all my current friends and my future (4 years younger...hehe) husband all after I turned 25. My youth was spent being overprotected. It's never too late.
Put yourself in the scary situation. Let your heart beat out of your chest, meet people and be known. Love and be loved.
Also at 28 I feel less old than 24 somehow. That is to say, I am certainly older but I am no longer weighed down by my age. If I don't die too young, I have a bunch of years of life left.
