Hi, my name is 'Aarlla', I'm 19, and I have no friends. Back in high school I hung around with a group but I never really considered most of them to be close to me, except for one. After high school, we moved to college, I met my boyfriend and we had another group that we hung around with, aside from my boyfriend I never considered any of them to be close to me. Upon leaving college, the only person I have left is my boyfriend. Nobody I met along the way has ever stayed.
I'm not sure how to make new friends. I don't like social events and I'm far too shy. Even my colleagues at work leave me out of things they do together outside of work because I don't speak much, unless it's work related.
I have online friends but it's not the same as being able to see them and spend time with them in person.
Please, if any of you have any advice, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to feel very lonely and very sad.
