i'm sorry. I feel the same way. Im in my 20's too & i see my peers progressing and connected and enjoying life...meanwhile im just here ...One interesting & safe place where ive felt slightly less alone was church. Not sure what ur religious backround is, yet i do see many places of worship have opportunities to hang out w/groups of people your own age (youth groups, young adult groups, small groups etc.) And with me and church, there is some peace in being close to God, sometimes :embarassed: I am okay with being alone sometimes, but your last paragraph is SO true...i dont know how to deal with these feelings of loneliness either. We've both probably heard of the suggestions of "appreciating what you do have", and "dont compare yourself to others". Yet there are still days like today. know that you are not alone with this, k?
