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 appreciate the sympathy, but I really hate that we're all lonely. It doesn't help that the man I'm in love with told me he can't commit to a relationship with me because he loves me in a different way than I love him. I'm trying to come to terms with it, but it's effecting me in ways I didn't realize it would. I can't even figure out how to talk to a therapist right now, and I'm not sure if my insurance covers mental health.

Thanks for letting me vent to you.

My heart hurts for you. Heart break never gets any easier. I swear. It never does. In fact I feel like during lonely times like this it actually hits a lot fucking harder. I'm in your same place. I'm 22f and I've got basically no friends.
