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've had no friends for over 10 years and it never bothered me because I was always in a relasionship at the time, so never felt lonley.

    Though this one time in band camp, I mean at a job I use to work at I had good friends, I was living with farmily, and yet I exprenced a break down at work because I felt crippling loneleyness. It was resolved when I got a GF.

    But now with whats going on at my current job, where I thought I had work friends that we could have a laugh and we got along to turn out to be back stabbers. Long story short, the documented chat I got afterwards left me  broken and for the first time in a while I'm now starting to feel alone and distrusting of people.

    So yeah my job has done that to me... yeahh me!

    I do have a plan to recotfile this problem with work, but still not sulition to making friends as it has never come easy to me, and instead I find people be friend me, like adopting a stray.
