Hello
I'm new here. I had been feeling lonely lately. Though I'm an introverted and shy person with some social anxiety I don't have much issue interacting with other people. I had acquaintances, classmates and colleagues but no friends. I just have difficulty making and maintaining friendships with other adults as I had never experienced any true adult friendship till now. There isn't anyone around who I could relate to or who could relate to me in this regard.
I'm single and unemployed at the moment. And work, relationship, having a family and kids nothing of that is going to change this lack of friends and isolation. If anything being in a relationship, getting married and having a family would only make it more difficult to cope. The relationship I share with my parents had never been fine nor my parents' marriage. And should I consider to marry someday and have a family, I've no reason to believe why I won't do it with a female best friend who'd be looking for the same rather than purposefully dating some stranger or marrying under pressure, as I know any traditional form of courtship or matrimonial arrangement is not going to work. The reason I feel is not appropriate and safe to discuss here.
Given the current situation a relationship or marriage is not something I'm even considering for now.
I've ignored the lack of friends for quite some years. Now having no friends and having had no friends as an adult is starting to become a cause of concern. I'm almost 32 and I've never felt this lonely and isolated before. In my early years like most other introverted people I used to believe that I don't need to actively engage in forming friendship with people. That friendship just happens when you come across others like you. It never did. It was a bit easier earlier. Now each passing day and year it seems more and more difficult that I start to give up hope of finding and making any friends. I just don't know how to do it. When I'm out and I see people socializing with their friends or even a small group of close friends interacting with each other it all just seems very difficult.
