How do people deal with feeling lonely when you’re surrounded by othere especially when they’re all making friends?
For me the thing I struggle with is that I’m not lonely because I want to be with people as actually I find navigating and making friendships draining and they never work out.
what I struggle with is looking around and seeing people being so relaxed, building relationships and as much as I try to work out how they do it, I just can’t and it’s that that confuses me and makes me feel isolated. It’s like there’s this invisible source that others can see that makes people be natural with others but I can’t see it. It feels frustrating that I can’t work it out.
My current living situation means I’m surrounded by peers that are slowly building friendships and the longer it’s going on, the more adrift and out of step I feel in the environment.
Does anyone else feel this confusion and isolation over watching other make friends around you so easily? How do you deal with the lonely feeling?
