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?

  • It's always been my biggest struggle. Not only making friends but also maintaining friendships. It's hard to even talk to my sister. Recently I'm so tired, that I can't even take part in discussions here in this forum although I crave friendship and contact a lot. I'm starved, but at the same time I can't. It's frustrating. I keep living in my inner world with my imagined friends and dolls, that are also my friends. I often have full scenarios with my imagined friends, where we talk while traveling and i talk about the universe. We travel a highway in California and away from city lights we see the whole milky way. The guy stops the car and I leave to enjoy the view of the galaxy in the clear night sky. It's so wonderful, that I start crying (this imagination is so real that I really cry, till I realise, it was just imagined scenario. It repeats endlessly for I don't know how many months but recently got more often. Anytime when my mind gets free,, it switches automatically and I'm on the back seat of the car driving down highway and chatting with my friends about universe, time, dimensions etc.
