Oddly, I was quite awkward as a teenager and really struggled to make friends then.

I had friends in college, but I don’t really keep in touch with any of them these days.

My closest friends are a few I’ve had since childhood, but mostly those I’ve made since adulthood through work and just striking up conversations outside of it.

Try a few new things and put yourself out there. We’re none of us that different and we’re all social creatures.




I don’t know what happened but after Covid no one talks to me anymore.

Prior to Covid I could go out to a bar, strike up a convo with someone (or vice versa) and just chat about stuff, sometimes awkward sometimes not. Now though, no one seems to want to talk, bot sure if something about my demeanor has changed or something. I hate going out now because it usually just involves me slamming down drinks to kill time.
