I am someone who pretty much has no friends due to mental health issues like social anxiety and depression. I'm trying to do what I can to overcome this though. I wasted all of high school and I am almost finished university – the best periods in life to make friends. I am aware that it gets much harder now, and this is difficult for me to come to terms with as it was always hard to make friends for me.
Constantly I see people talking about hobbies, social groups and meetups as advice for making friends as an adult. I want to know though, is there anyone who has been in my position that had success with doing these? It's easy for someone to just tell others to do these things but I want to know if it has actually worked for anyone. Or is it really just pointless and am I going to be alone forever?
