I need to get this off my chest. I feel like I have no friends and it really hurts. I just graduated college and feel like I don’t have a friend group anymore and I miss that. I don’t feel seen, loved, or chosen. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah. It doesn’t mean that you’re unlikable or an unpleasant person at all. I’ve felt this way for what seems like forever, but just be confident that you’ll find your people soon. Good friends are rare and hard to come by, so don’t feel alone! Also pray about it 🤍

I also feel more isolated than I want to be. Not to the same extent that you do, but I’m finding ways to build community. Specifically, I found some women who are getting together to build a matriarchy. And I have friends that I meet at martial arts practice. I wish we had more community spaces. Local parks can be good for making friends sometimes… I had a lovely conversation with an older woman and a weird interaction with her friend who hit on me, so… not perfect.

Yeah… maybe it’s cause I’m an introvert and have a hard time making friends but I think this past two years of college where I didn’t have any friends (who went there, so mainly online friends) maybe let me be comfy being alone and allowed me freedom to do whatever I wanted whenever! Also allowed me to focus on my needs and mental health

Yeah, i graduated in 2024 and my most meaningful social interaction since, outside of family, was going out to lunch with my new coworkers…

No me too. I just graduated high school and I’m going into my first year of college in a month, and genuinely, I’ve never felt more isolated and lonely than ever. This summer has been ass

Ima dude, but I’m the same way. They really don’t cover this much in media but your early 20s seems to be your hardest as you’re adjusting to life out of a structured school, likely in a new area, with no friends. I’ve been in a new area for 10 months and I still struggle with trying to make an active friend group. Everyone wants to do their own thing

Those are fun! But there’s very few unless one lives in a big city. Not to mention, they’re expensive 😬😬😬
