I´m 30+ and I don´t have any friends I hang out with. I´ve had a few friends but lately my closest friend had a baby and I didn´t feel we had a good friendship anymore as she was so into her family life.

Now I live by my own and my family lives quite far away. I feel a very profound loneliness and small things like seeing someone for coffee doesn´t make me feel less lonely. As I´m an adult I don´t want to live nearer my parents to hang out with them more, they aren´t my "friends" so to speak. I´ve tried to build my own life but I´ve ended up lonely.

As I live by myself in a large town I feel I have nobody. I have nobody to go home to, no dinners or such. I have never had a partner and that also makes me lonely.

I just began studying a course at the university but I feel my loneliness is so profound I´ll always feel lonely even if the loneliness may be lessened for some short periods.
