Making friends/loneliness

tetra

Hi Wave  I'm a bit new so please be patient with me:)

Something I've struggled with my whole life is making friends and finding likeminded people. Lately I've felt so much more isolated than usual and I feel a bit hopeless.

I'm 26 but every time I try and make friends or socialize with people, I feel like I'm that weird, lonely 13 year old again who doesn't have a place anywhere, and although it feels embarrassing to even say, I'm really, really lonely. Everyone around me seems to have friends and I just don't get it. 

It's so hard to make friends as an adult. How do you even do it? Where do you even go? Does anyone else find this really difficult?

    I think making friends as an adult is always seen a little strange to an ordinary person, and it can be unnecessarily hard sometimes. 

    What do you enjoy? Do you have any hobbies? Maybe you could find some local groups in the area, they're often great ways to meet like minded people. You might find someone who feels the same way as you. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, you have lots of offer. And you'll meet some amazing people by doing it
