@user1698 Hey, i’s tough when the year doesn’t feel like it’s living up to your hopes, and honestly, those ups and downs can feel like part of the cycle of life, but that doesn’t make them any easier to go through. Thanks for sharing… it’s not easy to admit feeling lonely or out of sync with others.
As we grow older, I do feel that it does get harder to make those deep connections. A lot of people already have their established groups, and it can feel like you’re on the outside looking in when you hang out with these groups. And it’s easy to wonder if it’s something about you, but the truth is, you’re not alone in feeling this way. The world changes, people change, and we change too. Sometimes we just need to find where we can feel at home again. 
Have you ever thought about joining an interest group that vibes with your passions? It could be a hobby, a cause, or something you’ve been curious about. Being around like-minded people might bring a little spark back and help you find that connection you’re missing. It might not fix everything, but it could be a start—and you deserve to feel like you belong.
Hi, thanks for putting this out. Finding people to connect with is ridiculously hard, especially when you still have cherished memories of old friends. This might seem strange advice, but try letting people come to you. It might not seem like it, however a lot of people look for companionship even with friend groups. Be open to others, say hi to the people around you, compliment them, and let them respond… Friendship is a two-way street so instead of focusing on those who drive away, put more energy on cherishing those who stop by for you. If they are the right people, they would respond. Until then, keep trying and don’t lose hope. Find hobbies, interests, anything that you enjoy and try inviting someone who you think might be interested too. Worst case, you’d still have fun. You’ll find the right people eventually, until then, learn to enjoy your own company too.
Thats so true. i lost so many friends in just january
hey @user1698 , i’m sorry to hear about your situation - it definitely is tough finding people you connect with especially when it seems like everyone already has friends of their own… it does get lonely when theres no one to talk to and when they don’t understand your humour 
the topic of friendship is something i’ve been reflecting on too. i’ve come to realise that as we get older, our idea of friendships changes a lot. in the past it may have been much simpler - friends are people who share your interests and those you spend the most time with. now, its also about emotional connection, feeling understood and being seen. sometimes, when this shifts, it can feel like the people around us don’t fit us anymore, or we don’t fit them. what you said about being extroverted before but feeling like theres nothing to say now is something i really relate to as well - i want to assure you that this is completely ok! its not wrong to change and being less extroverted isn’t a bad thing at all 
while it may seem lonely now, this isn’t the end! it may take a bit of time, but it’s completely okay if you haven’t met your people yet
i promise that there are people out there that understand your jokes, share the same interests and enjoy your company 
i found that putting myself out there like joining activity clubs in school, volunteering, joining workshops and even online communities - are great ways to reach out to new people and expand your social circle!
sending lots of positivity your way~~ you’re not alone in feeling this way, i hope the next half of 2025 will be even better for you 
hey, i know it’s been a while but as someone in a new school and phase of life i totally get it.
sometimes friendships just don’t work out, and honestly it isn’t really anyone’s fault! it can just be hard to mesh with certain people sometimes.
i’ve found friendships in some places that appreciate me for me, and it really comes down to the type of people i’m meeting. as you’re a student, consider going to clubs where people might share the same interests as you – you’ll be surprised how easy it is to befriend people then!
i hope you don’t let this get you down, and rediscover the joy of being yourself
