23M,
I’ve been going out alone recently, and it hasn’t been awful. I’ll usually go to a nice chill place, buy a coffee, sit down and read manga (I’ll usually sit somewhere outside) It is kind of sucky seeing a group of mates talking shit and having a laugh, but I just do my best to get over it. A couple days ago I went to a book store with my sister and I was sussing out the manga section, and this random guy started chatting to me. We talked for like 20 minutes about various things like Japan, good places to go and buy manga in Melbourne and shit. And it was really cool, and at the end of it he asked if I had eaten dinner. He was a manager at the ramen shop and offered a free side if I went. I said no, because I was with my sister. I should’ve asked for his number man ffs, he seemed about my age as well. I recently stopped talking to a friend that I absolutely loved because of things I had to do to move on with my life. And it’s really shitty atm. Other than that idk. Going out alone is cool and all. I’m even planning on going to the city and eating out, but as soon as I get home I’m reminded how there isn’t anyone in my life other than my sister…..that is married so I don’t see her as much as I used to. Again idk. The group I joined hasn’t set any events, I’m also out of work so its not like I can converse with co-workers. Fuck bro this shit sucks. How do you even find a new friend group, even a single friend. I don’t understand how people do it. Just talking shit now.
Goodnight
