I Am A Loner And Probably Will Always Be A Loner

I got home today from the gym, arranged my things, drank some water. I checked my phone several times: no messages. I sat on a stool in the kitchen and felt a bit desperate... I would say I'm a loner, and most of the time that's OK: I like being on my own and doing things by myself, I sometimes reject social interactions (parties, gatherings) because I prefer to be alone. Also, because sometimes when I am in those social environments, I feel alone even if I'm surrounded by people.

Anyway. There are days, like today, that I would like to not be alone. But it's like a vicious circle, how do I get out of it? How do I meet people, make meaningful connections? Is there a way out? Do I want a way out?

Just felt like sharing.

I can relate.How about you take a course in an activity you enjoy or what to learn? Cooking, dancing, martial arts and so on? Then you will meet new people.

@Mugin16 Yes, I've tried that... a few months ago I enrolled in a creative writing course. I liked it a lot, and in the class I talked to my classmates who were very nice... but they all have their lives so now the course is over and everyone got back to them... I find that this happens all the time, people already have their lives, their friends, their families... no place for me :(

@TheGirl 😞 Try again. Don't give up. I got almost all of my friends through university, school or courses.

@TheGirl This is even more true as you get old and those whom you've known for years die or move far away. I just haven't found any easy answer for it.
