Feeling Alone and Desperate for Friendship

Hi, I'm new to this app. I feel so alone recently. It uses to not bother me because I am such an introvert. but since I've been on my meds, I've felt better, but realized just how alone I am. I want friends, I want to cosplay with others, I want to talk and to people who aren't judgmental and are willing to listen to me and are interested in me. my only friends are in a different state and when I speak to one of them, they never ask about me. I know that sounds selfish and narcissistic but I just want to be cared for as well. the conversation is always one sided. with my other friend, they simply never reply. I speak to them maybe 3x a year. anyways, all of this is hurting and confusing. is anyone else going through this too? or would anyone like to be my friend? I know that's stupid to ask but I'm desperate at this point. maybe since we're 'alike' we have a better shot at becoming friends. I live in SLC and I know absolutely no one. but long distance relationships are also nice 💖 its something.

I don't know how old you are but some cities have senior places to go to during the day. In San Antonio Texas one place is called Bob Ross Senior center and they provide a lunch, there's some exercise equipment, there's different activities that people do together and sign up for, there's a library in there etc. Also sometimes you can volunteer at a hospital or be a big brother or big sister and help out somebody or volunteer to be a companion for an elderly person cuz they get lonely too

Right there with you. I got really good at being alone. But now that my meds/symptoms are settling down a lot of emotions that I just straight up wasn't feeling started to come through like, oh, you're ready? Well guess what you have no one to support you 🤦‍♀️

You can always dm me too if you'd like. I know how you feel. I'm starting to make friends but I only really have 1 or 2 that really understand which makes it hard too

I'd love to be your friend. I don't live near you, but I visit SLC every once in a while lol! Anyway I tend to be on my phone a lot so you can dm me anytime and I'm down to chat about anything you'd like! I definitely relate to how you're feeling right now. ❤️
