Friend vs Loneliness

I have been an introvert all my childhood, pretty shy, with a very small group of friends, and I thought I was the only one who felt lonely sometimes. Since joining college, I realised there are so manyyyy people out there(especially in the dev community) who feel lonely a lot of times. I wanna build an app to connect devs. Relationships are what makes our lives fulfilling right. I have the whole idea ready in my mind, and I talked to a couple peeps about my app idea too and they loved it

They don't know your life, may say something that triggers your PTSD But now you cannot react, though hurt You cannot drive them away because it isn't even their fault 🥺😪

Have you felt that the conversations with your work buddies and away from office buddies are not that fulfilling? Like you might be passionate about so many stuffs but you just don’t have that passion in anyone around you and you end up being yourself, overtime becoming very lonely while still consuming content at high pace. Do you feel lonely? If yes how are you dealing it?

I am a 29 YO single male. I earn decently well for my age. Lately I haven’t been feeling well. As in, life is just passing by and nothing brings me joy anymore - No PS5, No long drives, no movies or shows. Weekends are especially lonely. During weekdays, I make sure I go to my office everyday even though it’s hybrid, to avoid feeling lonely. I don’t have any female friends to talk about things deeply as most of those friends are now getting married. (you know how is it with us boys. It feels weird to share emotions or talk about life with the same sex somehow). Same for male friends. They are all getting married. Somehow, it just feels like I focused too much on my work and didn’t invest time in finding a mate at the right time. Now, on weekends, I just lay on my bed like a loser. I was never like this. I had so much drive to work, to explore, etc. But now it all seems pointless. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Hi guys, I just graduated and started working. My office doesn't really have an in-office work culture, so I usually go to the office once in a while. The rest of the days I work from home. I live at home, and I agree that staying with your family brings in a lot of comfort. But the place where I live is a small town. I don't have friends here, and my social life has become almost zero. I feel like I have no one to talk to, my college friends on the other hand have moved to metro cities for their jobs, living with their friends. I see them enjoying every weekend which makes me feel bad as I don't have any friends here. Even my college friends have stopped talking to me. At times, I feel very lonely and sad. I have also been seeing a therapist for a while now. Could someone please help me with any advice/suggestions. I'm in dire need of advice/ perspective and have no one to talk to.

How can I cultivate deep and meaningful relationships / friendships? I've had very few friends since childhood, and now at 26, I feel quite lonely. I've noticed that the relationships people form in adulthood, such as at work, tend to be superficial. Without some close-knit relationships, that sense of emptiness never seems to go away.

Lately i have been struggling to cope up with my work and family . It’s been very difficult at my work lately. Also my personal life is a roller coaster mentally! I feel difficult to cope up. People at my work are sarcastic about my performance even though i am fulfilling all my basic tasks. I sleep very late thinking about all these things especially my personal struggles! How are you guys coping up?

I graduated from tier 3 engineering college in 2011 after too much struggle I am working for an MNC. Since childhood I had no friends I am a loner I had no friends as I always focused on my work and studies but in graduation I made some friends who never let me feel lonely in college. I feel most friends developed a sense of ego after college I have also tried to connect with them via mail but they don't respond. I feel lost sometimes due to this. And as an introvert it's very hard for me to connect to anyone. How do I deal with this? Is this my destiny? Will I have good friends again my life who ?

I am 21 years old. I have good offers (20lac+) from good companies, but I am not happy. I always feel that something is missing in life, I don't know what and why I feel so. I tried to get in a relationship, but whenever I express this feeling, things get bad between both of us. I really want to love and get loved. I have been living my life alone for about 3 years now. I want to make friends, and I want to be in a relationship, but the last 3 years have not been nice to me because of which I don't like going out and having fun. I was in a depression and a workaholic nerd for the past years and feel that now I have got wired in such a way which is not letting me have fun and enjoy life. I find myself lonely. Whenever I don't have anything to work on, I get anxious, and I get this question, what am I doing with life. Maybe I am feeling lonely while writing this post and may sound little gone case. Open to your suggestions, do share your stories if you have been through this phase. Is it normal to feel like this?
