I Have No Friends

Well, let's just start by saying, I've moved around a lot.
I haven't been settled in a place for almost 3 years now. Due to that, I've lost every friend I've ever made except one. However, she lives so far from me, our friendship has strained and we aren't as close as we use to be.
The thing that bothers me the most is that is seems everyone still has their friends from high school, the main high school I went to is in another state and the most recent high school I went to, I made friends, but they were mostly temporary.
So, I have no friends. I do have a boyfriend, but I think we're going to breakup soon, I no longer care to be his girlfriend as well, so soon, he'll be gone too. I'll have exactly no one. ZERO friends. No one to express anything to, no one to hangout with, no one to laugh with. I'm not close with my family, so that's out the window.
I'll be a complete loner. I've asked people who are in college have they made friends since being in college and they all say no. So, I feel I'll never make any friends. It really makes me feel so sad. I want to give up on so much because of this.
Every time I try to make friends, for example, at work, I think I come off as too desperate for friends that it pushes people away. Anyway, if anyone reads this and wants to be internet friends, just let me know in the comments.

I used to feel the same way. You WILL make friends, but maybe not in the way that you think. Friendships are typically not planned events. They are spontaneous. You just click. You may not know it at the time, but eventually you will meet people and that relationship/friendship will just click. Some ideas (if you dont mind)...

1. Treat yourself as your own best friend. Dont be hard on yourself. Love yourself as you would a good friend. Make sure you take yourself out to a movie or the mall. Do something for yourself that will make yourself feel good. The trick is to do this regularly. Eventually, you will give off those positive feel good vibes to other people. You will become a magnet that attracts others.

2. Think about some hobbies and interests. For example. I enjoy soccer, martial arts, and cooking. I tend to take cooking classes & martial arts classes every week or so. I have met many cool people who share those same interests.

Whatever you choose to do, ensure that it brings you closer to unconditional self love and acceptance.

Happy New Year.
