Hello all, I’m in my early 20s, fresh out of the military, attending college online and working full time nights. I’ve recently gotten out of a relationship, and honestly feel like a mess most of the time. I have an absolute goose egg for a social life.
My ex and I still talk on the phone a bit and that’s pretty much the only socializing I get beside seeing my family for a few hours (usually asleep when the are home). I’ve become extremely lonely and feel isolating in my life. I’ve almost came to the point to quitting my job so I can alleviate my scheduling strain and find some friends, but I can’t do that and put myself through school and save for the future. I’m telling myself to button down the hatches it’ll only be until the end of this year (planning on going to a university and moving towns) but it’s really and I feel like I have no one or nothing. On top of this is gonna be Memorial Day and Some of the few friends I’ve had in the Military have past away and I’m honestly not doing good with it.
I don’t know what to do I just want a social life, a dating life, and some semblance of relationships.

the easiest thing is to turn thoughts off and dont care about having some worthless brain reactions which after some time will be gone for good that you wont care about it
You don’t. Eventually it becomes so painful that you’ll do something about it.
Hobbies and pets can help but they don’t replace social needs.
Have you considered looking up any memorial day events in your area?
