No real friends or acquaintances

It's just mentally tough. I really have no one to talk to. I only have work colleagues, and that's it. It's a very sad situation being like this. I'm different to other people and i just can't accept i'll never make friends. It's missing out on life, this s*** is. I do deeply wish i could make friends - i long for more conmections,and having a few guys to hang out with would be great. I always am alone and it takes a toll on my psyche. I've wanted friends for years, but I've never been successful. At 20, should i accept i'll never make the friends and memories i want?

  • I know making friends can feel daunting, but some strategies can help. Firstly, consider joining groups or activities centred around your interests – it's a great way to meet like-minded individuals. Practice your social skills in a supportive environment, be patient with yourself, and remember, it's about quality over quantity.  And most importantly, be true to yourself. Genuine connections happen when you're authentic. You've got this!
