It took me 21 years to have a real friend group. It lasted all of one year as I just graduated and I feel myself spiraling into depression. Everyone is always like “just do this or this” to make friends after grad but it doesn’t work like that for me.

Some guy in a movie who sees the boys at the bar every day for 20yrs is not the canonical ideal life - nor is he any better than you or experiencing anything more exciting than you for talking about fantasy football every day

my quality of life does depend on it because I’ve always wanted to have companionship. The reason I was depressed in years prior was because I was always alone
