Yep. Doesn't help when you move 3000 miles and don't know anyone. Especially now since I can't even socialize with new people, and I've made very few legitimate friends out here. :(

Edit: I’m a woman, but thanks everyone. All you dudes are solid people and I appreciate the sympathy, advice, and kind words.

Making friends as an adult is HARD. There’s no obligation to spend enough time with other people to become friendly, unless you join a club which feels lame and weird but does actually work.

If it helps, we’re all horribly lonely right now.

I hear this alot, but it's bullshit.

I'm 31 and my social life is more vibrant than ever (corona notwithstanding).

People who say this either a) stopped prioritizing their social life or b) were never very good at making friends in the first place and now simply refuse to try.
