I’ve always been a loner, never really having too many friends or dating much. At 21 I’ve never been in a relationship. I have anxiety, ocd and depression. I’m usually okay with isolating myself from others and the loneliness never bothered me. But now it’s starting to. I currently attend college and see people interacting, dating and etc, and it bothers/ angers me that I’m not doing that. I’m extremely shy and awkward so making friends/dating is something that’s really hard for me. Anyone else feel like this? How do you handle loneliness ?

I feel the same way and it is frustrating to see everyone around you moving through life so smoothly. I don’t have suggestions on how to improve the situation as I always fail epically at making friends etc. I’m sure someone here will have better information for you though.

Sorry you're lonely. Have you tried volunteering? Nice positive way to meet people with a common goal. Less pressure than a date or suddenly trying to make a new friend.

Loneliness is tough. I’m sorry you’re going through it. I know how it feels. Sometimes I try to reach out and talk to someone about it. Sometimes I find a new hobby or I do some volunteer work. Maybe you don’t enjoy the activities other people are doing and that’s perfectly fine. Find what makes you happy and I think you are likely to find the right people too.
