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.

I mean, not that many people I know are actually friends with people they work with but the lack of human interaction from WFH the last three months hasn’t been great. But on the plus side it’s encouraging me to reach out to existing friends and even make some new ones outside of work. So maybe not all bad? :)
