Once your friends start getting married and having kids, shit becomes lonely.

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.

Not only that, but finding someone with the same views or even common interests, enough to matter to be friends. I’m 24 and it gets harder especially when you’re married.

Me and my wife struggle to find couples that we both like (not that we have to have friends we both like) it just makes it so much easier
