I'm sick of being alone. I'm not introverted enough to handle this kind of loneliness.
Every now and then I realize just how lonely I am. It sucks.

Yes, it does suck. Very much so. Even as a young introvert/extrovert mix, it was soul destroying. Maturity, experience, and becoming more introvert has helped me accept it, and handle it better, but it’s still no picnic. At your age, it tore me apart, so I understand. Now, I just lose hope in a resigned way, and tolerate it, while losing brain cells. Isolation is extremely damaging.

I know about that feeling. I'm old now and my friends have either died or moved away. Or I moved away myself (illegally forced to move from my 32 year residence). I miss some of my friends who have died. No one could ever know me the way they did after decades; now they're gone. Making new friends at this time of life is hard.
Message me anytime. I am on and off here by day and night. I usually check my messages once every 24 hours. I can at least offer some online support and encouragement.

Isn’t this the truth. No one can know you like those who have shared your past. When they are gone, or not around much, new friendships can’t compare, if you are fortunate to even make any. [@green mountain gal].

Have you considered not going to a bar but instead a lounge on a ladies' night?
It might be a good way to break away from the feeling of loneliness. Plus I know from working in the hospitality industry that people who frequent lounges are better dressed and more career driven, often already having one.

This is good advice@plungesponge

Here's the advice I give introverts, stop obsessing over the fear of being in awkward social situations. It's those few seconds when an introvert feels unsure and embarrassed that keeps them from going out and locks them in a lifetime of solitude. The truth is nobody even remembers those times as anything but a passing giggle except the introvert.

@plungesponge I said I'm [i]not[/i] introverted enough. The problem is I don't have any way of getting out right now.

Go volunteer at a shelter or soup kitchen. You will meet other volunteers as well as many people who will make you very grateful for the life that you have. Dont expect to make friends because that has you trying far to hard and leads to dissapointment. Just be yourself but you have to engage with people more and show yourself to be friendly and intrested in others.
