25 Year old here I have quite a few online friends but that's all they are just online friends. I work 8-5 with an hour commute to and from, it's so hard to do anything really so I just go on social media and waste my time in there chatting with my online friends, how do I meet new people?
Where I work everyone really isn't in my age group even though I talk to a few people online I still feel lonely. I had a long distant relationship recently but we broke it off I haven't had anyone to really talk to when it comes to deep feelings.
What should I do?

Cont. It just feels like I'm all alone in this world, I've been exercising a lot recently I used to weight 230 now I'm at about 196 and still working out when I go for a jog or lift some weights I feel great but then as soon as I stop doing those the lonliness just sets in.

I feel as if I've wasted a lot of my life just working, I don't really have many skills outside of being able to always have a stable job. I do well in interviews but only because I practice for them I act as this person who is super friendly and outgoing but on the inside I just feel so depressed and lonely and shy and quiet.
Bump really wish I could get some insight on what to do with my life or how to meet new people with a relatively time taxing job
One last final bump I guess
While I can't offer a solution I can sympathize. I am also 25 and having a very hard time meeting people, let alone romantic prospects. I am in the military and due to the transient nature of my job and my age I'm having a hell of a time trying to get out.
Only thing I can suggest off the top of my head is the meetup website. Find social hobbies.

Yea, work sucks balls.
Time to get gf op. Okcupid or other sites. Go and dont stop until you ask 99 girls on date.
meetup.com changed my life at 26, and I became confident enough to organize my own group at 28. This is coming from someone who was scared of people and leaving their own house.
Get to know some people at work, eventually there will be some group outings or events with people your age. Older people just love to have you meet their friend's daughter from church.

Does that shit really work?
>>18399408
Like what are some examples of using that site?
>>18399512
Yeah. Groups tend to attract people in their 20s - late 30s and I hung out with about a dozen or so every month that shared the same hobbies. I moved away but we still keep in touch.

Are they social retards too or cool people that make you feel like shit in your own hobby?

Good groups will swiftly remove any real autism.
We went bowling once and I had no idea how to play, meanwhile two others showed up with their professional shit. I felt dumb, but they were happy to teach me what was up. We had fun and went to dinner after. That's what you can normally expect from a meet-up in my experience.
