How do I get a more active social life? I have two friends, one

find a purpose to your existence. don't just make friends for the hell of it. your mom isn't here to take you to playdates, and your friend can't force people to interact with you either.

it sounds like you have two solid friendships and that is very good. if you want to be around more people you should try dating or a hobby or career networking. with a *purpose* to your interactions, making friends will come naturally and be very beneficial.

Weed and lifting has helped me cope with this loneliness but its beginning to eat away at me, I spend weekend nights just sitting on my bed and staring at the wall just getting lost in my own memories. Meanwhile my friends, who were all better adjusted than I am, are getting on with their lives, going to school, getting in relationships/married and they still call or text me every other day to check up on me.

What the fuck is wrong with me, why can't I make friends like the ones I made in the Marines?

You meet people you enjoy spending time with.

Spend less time online honestly

Stop clinging to the past. You have to move on at some point, a journal of my memories with old friends help cherish the past.

Don't look for friends. Look for activities.

Join a club. Join a gym. Tske a class. Do volunteer work. You'll be among people doing the same thing, so you'll start with something in common.
