Slowly coming to the realization that all of the relationships I formed at my old living situation have ended. My friend who promised we’d keep in touch, no longer responds to my calls or texts. A staff member who I was speaking to also ignores my messages sent over fb. Another friend has been dealing with the illness (not sure if she’s passed away yet) of her mother so once she’s grieved idk if she’ll want to speak to me or not.

I’m now living in an apartment alone. I have no friends who live in this state. My family and I are on speaking terms but not what I’d call close. I’m very introverted and shy so the only times I socialize are when I’m “forced” to like living in a group home. I don’t know where and how to begin to meet people and then I’m afraid I’d get nervous and back out at the last minute if I did find a group or club to join. I also don’t see the point since everyone in my life ends up leaving. It’s making me angry as I type this because they promised they wouldn’t. And that makes them liars.

I don’t know how to cope with or solve this loneliness ....

I'm sorry you're feeling abandoned. That's not a good feeling to have. There is a point of putting yourself out there. You just have to keep trying and learn more about yourself in the process.

Why were you living in a group home? .. or do you mean communal space/shared apartment?

What do you think would happen if you asked them point blank?

It’ll be really hard because of social anxiety but I suggest you try reaching out to some of the people you mentioned.

For example, you could contact the friend who is dealing with her mother having covid and ask how she is doing.

I have severe MI and had nowhere else to live.

I’ve tried to reach out to her but she hasn’t answered either, I just attributed that to what’s going on in her personal life.

Thankfully I have people I can talk to, they just don’t live nearby.
