How do I get over loneliness?

>I don't like most of the people around me/at college

Work on that. Make better friends. You don't need a dick to stop feeling lonely. You need people in your life, real people that you like.

Hey baby, can we take it steady? I'll go to church with you, remain faithful, and steer clear away from degeneracy. All I want is someone like you.

God helps those who help themselves. You have to try if you want good things to happen in your life. Same thing as going to school you want a good job so you work hard in collage, you didn't just expect god to line up your dream job without you having to do anything. You will have to put yourself out there a little if you want to meet someone. Try church groups or dating online but a site that's set up for people with conservative vies. I'm like you, I got lucky and meet my husband through friends but I know how hard it can be waiting to find the right one. You want to start your life so badly but not having the right person to do it with is hard to deal with. The waiting can feel crushing

same thing goes for friends. connection with them is hard since most people at my college are liberals even though it's a faith based uni. but I do have a friend that I hang out with from time to time sense she doesn't take sides on politics or anything else basically she's neutral on everything. I just long for a soulmate type of person and not being the typical liberal at college just makes life even harder.

I just want it to happen soon. I feel like all these years spent without him now are just years I could have been more happy and not lonely but everything happens for a reason I guess.

Lower your expectations. Friendship is about the imperfect connection you make. There are no soulmates.

But as I said, you are lonely because you have only one friend. A boyfriend won't make you feel better. You need a healthier social circle. Bonus: A healthy social circle will help you meet boys.

If people around campus aren't working for you, make friends elsewhere. Join clubs, volunteer, or some other shit. You have to get your ass in gear to meet people.

Happiness starts in the present, you dip.
It's a state of mind.

Also your God doesn't exist, you alone are responsible for your actions, but will soon be forgotten after your long dead.

Maybe stop worshiping your worthless god because it seems he did not do anything for you.

> I don't want to take the online dating route since people use those for hookups and I don't want to look/be like a degenerate.

Don't be so sure. Tinder was how I found the love of my life a few months ago. She is sweet, beautiful, reserved, and methodist. The trick is to not pay attention to pictures and bios that are on people's profiles, and instead just message back and forth with them. Focus less on the possibility of dates, and think of it as an opportunity to make friends.

There are genuine people on these dating apps, but it may take time to find one.
