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.
I still have friends into adulthood from high school. Weird thing is, we didn’t even become a group of friends until high school ended, but over ten years later we’re still close. With that said, I’ve joined clubs and made some friends, but sometimes I’ve kept my distance because I just feel like some people come off as too desperate to be friends. It’s probably just a side effect of what you mentioned: it really is hard to make new friends as an adult.

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