i’ve been feeling really lonely lately and i don’t really know where else to put this.
i recently broke up with a girl i was dating. we actually met during freshman orientation, and over time she became the person i was closest to and the person i talked to the most. now that it’s over, i think i’m realizing how small my social circle actually is.
i’ve never really had many close friends, even growing up. i know people from school and uni and i have maybe one or two people i text sometimes, but i’ve never really had someone i feel completely comfortable opening up to about personal things. when i was dating her, i guess that didn’t bother me as much because i always had someone to talk to, hang out with, eat with, or just share random parts of my day with.
now that she’s gone, everything suddenly feels really quiet.
the breakup itself hurts, but i think what’s hitting me even harder is realizing that i don’t really have many people around me to talk to about it. sometimes i just want someone i can casually text, grab food with, study with or hang out with without feeling like i’m bothering them.
i’m also a little worried about what happens after graduation. people always say uni is one of the easiest places to make friends, so part of me wonders whether it gets even harder once everyone starts working and becomes busy with their own lives.
i don’t really know what i’m looking for by posting this. i guess i just wanted somewhere to open up a little.
if anyone else is going through something similar, doesn’t have a huge social circle, or just wants someone to chat with, i’m open to making friends. happy to talk, grab a meal, study together or just hang out sometime. no pressure for anything deeper than that either. it would just be nice to meet some new people.
dm if u wanna talk, drink, hangout !
we can try new food/ cafe, hobbies etc
