Does living alone get any better?

Visit your family, talk to your family, think about the positives, push yourself to go outside your comfort zone and try to meet people, or learn to be more comfortable with yourself and enjoy your own company

Been living alone for 2 years now, moved to another city to study. I have no friends here due to being introverted as fuck, and even though I don't feel exactly lonely, I can always tell when it's been too long with no socializing because I start getting really lethargic and depressed. The only way to counter it is to go where to people are. Even if you don't hang out with friends, just go somewhere where you'll have to interact with others. Do you have a job? School? Maybe join some hobbies or clubs, or start volunteering, that's what I do and it helps a lot. It's not for the purpose of getting deep bonds or connections, just to help with the loneliness. Visit home often if you can.

I think my biggest problem personally isn't my current situation, I'm doing fine. It's the fear that this will continue for years. Even forever. I'll graduate, get a job... what will really change? Idk, for me it helps to think I can at least get a pet then. Good luck, don't isolate yourself.

I wont be able to visit till around Christmas, probably. And as sad as it sounds, I'm pretty much a social idiot. Unless i know someone for a while, I tense up and get really nervous. Making friends, even more so as an ''adult'' is really hard for me.

Plan on getting a pet in the near future, just have to work it out with my landlord since they have to ''accept'' your dog or cat, mainly dog. And I know what you mean, I feel like im in that ''slump'' too. Isolation is gonna be a real risk with my work since I'll just fuck up my sleep schedule so often that I'll go days without even going out.
