I’m in a very unique situation where right now, I’m like SUPER lonely and let me tell you why. At the start of the pandemic I was living in another country, I had a lot of friends in high school, many of them were super close to me.
But in May I graduated and moved back to America where I don’t know anyone other than my immediate family, whom I am living with. I’m currently in college but all my classes are online so I don’t ever see anyone, I’m just reading textbooks and taking quizzes. Also since we are in a fricking pandemic all the club activities and sports that I usually would participate in are cancelled, i have legitimately zero interactions with people my age to make friends.
I am still keeping up with the friends from high school but they are spread out across multiple different countries now and seeing them in person just isn’t a possibility right now. I FaceTime them when I can but it’s not the same and I feel like I’m literally going insane I’m so touch starved.
This coming semester I’m hopefully going to get a job so maybe I’ll make friends there, and I’ll be moving onto campus in the summer, so I know this loneliness won’t last indefinitely, but it sure damn hurts hella bad right now. Anways, if y’all have any advice on how to make friends during this weird time, let me know, any and all advice is appreciated.
