I’m about to graduate college and I’m so sad I never made lasting friendships like I thought I would, my whole life has been a cycle of “maybe next year will be better”

Same. I expected college to be the place where I could finally find MY friends and be accepted. First two years were a breeze, now I’m going into my senior year and realizing I only have 1 true friend I’ve made here. I keep wondering if it’s something I did that somehow deters everyone away from me

I didn’t meet my lifelong friends until I moved to Taiwan after graduation. The ladies that I met there are the best people I know and we still talk daily after 6 years of friendship.

I feel the same. At work, we get new seasonal employee every summer and winter. Everytime there is a new group of ppl, they start off thinking I’m normal and I feel I have a good shot and then after a week or so of social dynamics forming, I can see everyone start to distance from me and get closer to each other.And I’m here season after season, watching people form close bonds with others after a season, and leave, meanwhile I’m just waiting for the next group of people to come in and try again

I totally feel it! Graduated and got ghosted by all but like 2 people. Everyone is just busy, it’s not necessarily something you’ve done or that has happened. Keep your chin up, socializing is hard sometimes 🫶🏻

You got what you went there for. That’s all that matters.
