Hello,
I am 25 years old and I have no friends. I worry it's because I maybe a boring wooden man. I come home after work, I go for a walk or work out, cook dinner, and then I lay on my sofa to watch sweet vids on my computer. That is my ritual more or less after work, though I work on my projects (portfolio). But it's monotonous. I always reserve my weekends, but all I ever seem to do is go to the grocery store, maybe go on a walk, or go to the city. Now, the sad part is that I am by myself all the time. When I eat out, I take a table for one and eat my chicken like the freak misfit I am. So honestly, my life sucks. I have no friends or girlfriend.
Now I have been trying to find interesting things near me. I went to a group meet up in person and I had fun but this group does not meet regularly. On top of that, events can also be virtual and I want to MEET people. How can I meet friends if everything is online!? So, I go look for other groups but I don't see anything I find interesting. There's not much to do around where I live and the people around me are a lot older.
It seems like I just don't have anything to look forward to, except for the weekends. But even then, there's nothing to do, it's just a relief from work. Everything is just so boring. I do like to go outside to hike and take photos, but there's not many people my age who like these sorts of things. I guess they all go to bars and clubs? But that doesn't sound fun. What do you do? Just stand around and drink? I want to run and have an adventure. Or perhaps I'm boring and that's cool?
I'm just pissed off. Everything seems boring to me. It's like pulling teeth trying to find something fun to do. Nevermind making friends or a girlfriend. Is it me? Have I let my job grind me down where I feel I have nothing left?
What would you do if you live in a boring area with older people, with nothing to do, and you have no fun interests? Should I just live a life as a hermit? Is there a trick to making friends? And no, I don't want to hear, "just smile, go outside, be yourself". That's not working and to me, it sounds like mocking. If I'm a cardboard boring person, then my personality is not going to draw attention. Geez, sorry for the ramble, but I'm losing my damn mind.

In solidarity with you because your life has similarities to mine
ReplyIf you have neighbors you could try to befriend them? Even if they aren’t your age they might be open to helping you get into the social circle of this small town. If you can get a pet and are able to care for one I know a cat or dog can help with feeling lonely, obviously not a long term solution but it helps.
