I’m worried I’ll never run into mr right and have fun friends to hang out with

THese days it’s loneyl. I come home from work I’m not in any groups I don’t know where to meet people. I had plenty of friends in high school. I feel inadequate for people and like people won’t even give me a chance I’m scared I won’t have any friends. My interests are swimming, running, Christianity, health stuff, people, charity, exercise. Books, movies. I feel like a loser of a twenty year old my previous break up took a toll on me. I cry because I want more out of life.will things always be this way? College isn’t going so well and my dreams and aspirations feel crushed

You can't really do both. If you find a relationship, chances are you're not gonna have friends. I say go for the latter choice. Friendship is priceless; love is worthless.

@BlueMetalChick You can absolutely 100% do both. People who are early on in relationships tend to ditch on their friends for the first while but eventually get over it and come up for air and socializing. Most of my friends are in relationships - the difference is the single friends are more available and less of a pain to schedule something with.

Anyone who says adults don't have friends is just justifying their isolation. The only caveat is that young kids destroy social lives pretty spectacularly because they require so much time.

Fucking THANK you. I try to tell people that so often and they look at me like I'm a silly person.
