I’m 25M. I graduated 2 years ago.

While my life is in no way bad. I find life after college quite underwhelming. I find it quite hard to make friends now. A lot of my cohort moved to London and I didn’t. I’m still living at home and I don’t really enjoy my job.

Today was my graduation ceremony (postponed due to 2020 situations). It’s just enhanced it. While it was lovely to see everyone. It’s just made me realise how much I miss my old life when I had lots of friends. Hot girls all around to date. I had a gf for a while. Sports all the time.

I’m finding life just extremely underwhelming and tbh, shit. I find it really hard to meet girls and friends. Has anyone else felt this way? I’m not sure if there’s any way to improve it or if this is just my life now.

Thanks

Tl;dr really disappointed with life after college

  1. Lots of people feel this way. You’ve just got to find new ways to meet people.

  2. Have you been assessed for depression? Might be worth a look if you’re feeling this disconnected.

  3. > I’m still living at home and I don’t really enjoy my job.

    Move out. Find a new job. These aren’t permanent situations. You have the power to change things.

  4. These are common feelings and they will never go away on their own. This is why you see some people still lost in their 30s and beyond.

    You have to work to make your life worth living. Find hobbies. Group hobbies will lead to new friends with shared interests. Try to stay as open as possible to any experience (even those that take you out of your comfort zone). Make a 5 year plan for yourself and work toward those goals. Then give it time.

  5. This isn’t unusual, it’s a lot harder to make friends after you leave college. Are there any rec (casual) teams you can join? In the US there are like bar teams that people join just for the social aspect.

  6. If you have it in your area, meetup groups or bumble bff is how I’ve been meeting people! I graduated college with very few friends and now I’m working on making more 🙂

  7. Are there reddit meetups in your area? That’s one way to meet new people who already have at least one thing in common with you.
