Lonely

Hi everyone,

I’m 28 and for the last few years or so I’ve just felt incredibly lonely. I’m at the age where I just don’t know where or how to meet new friends and all the covid stuff hasn’t helped.

I have a handful of friends that I’ve known since school/uni but they have either moved to different parts of the country or they are married with kids. I feel like I spend the evening scrolling through social media and seeing everyone going for drinks or coffee or walks etc... with someone and it makes me realise I have no one I could do that with. I’ve recently went through a break up which admittedly has probably amplified these feelings but it was certainly something I was aware of when with my ex.

I suppose I’m generally quite an anxious person but I like to think I’m still a nice person, I try to be bubbly, caring and kind so I’m not sure why I don’t have more friends but it really sucks. I have a good career and a relatively close knit family so I guess I shouldn’t feel this way but I do and it sucks Sad

Hi Sundream...I feel like this sometimes..it is definitely heightened in weird coved times...it is a habit thing too. I have put myself out there to try and make friends and just been brushed off...people have busy lives. I feel out of sync with the people around me...For the most part it doesn't bother me but sometimes it gets to me.

You’re not alone! I don’t necessarily feel lonely but would love to have more fun and broader circle of friends- I’m 25 And feel like giving my life a huge overhaul.
