I only really have a few people from high school I can call true friends, and even then I see them barely. Beyond that, I have many acquaintances and I hang out with people I don’t like these days in university. It seems that since the pandemic, everything went to shit. I’m a commuting student, meaning I don’t spend that much time in the city.
Even when I do, and when I meet people, I don’t really like them anymore. I just want someone I can have a close connection with, but I just can’t seem to have that with barely anyone these days. I’m very lonely as a result, and it causes issues in my life, since I’d be much better off dealing with some of the stuff I deal with if I had a strong social network around me. I don’t want to go into the details, but I’m fighting a lot of battles and doing it alone, which hurts a lot.
