Are you lonely IRL? Because....

^Thats a good advice,friendship is really more important and tend to last longer than romantic relationship because when you break up with your partner, that dynamic is gone but friends can beef each other and patch things up. Friends do come in handy when you need someone to talk to, bust each other's chop,share stuffs and all that. As much as I hate to admit it, I miss my best friend sometimes because they are some situations that I have faced and if he was there,he would have come in handy but that's life

So yeah, its not really encouraging to remain lonely, one has to socialize and have friends for their own good.

Due to a combination of things I've been going through an extremely lonely period of my life since last summer.

My advice to any young people around university/college age is take advantage of the easiest period in your life to make friends, because as you get older it gets more challenging. Encourage yourself to build and maintain friendships.
Regardless of what movies tell you about the importance of finding 'the one', friendships tend to last longer than most romantic relationships, and they are really important for psychological health.

That's not an attempt to get pity, that's genuine advice to any young people reading.

Yeah you are right. I'm trying to make friends as much as I can in uni.

Because it is the one chance I have of trying to build a completely new social circle.

I just need to work on my time management skills so I can actually have time to develop bonds with the people I meet though..

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

It's weird for me.. When the situation presents itself to socialize, I sometimes purposely just stay away from it. Don't get me wrong, I don't completely stay away from socializing, but sometimes I can tell when hanging out or responding to an invite is going to be a big mistake.. When I'm not in the mood to talk, I can tell I'm going to be overshadowed in the conversation anyway, so why bother?

And you guys nailed the points about no one really understanding these feelings. It's pretty unique.

You can't help but think when you assume someone understands, to have a bit of skepticism about that person.. Sometimes that person just wants to bulldoze you to gain authority over you. Especially when you get older. You express your feelings to someone and all of a sudden that person thinks they have 1 up over you because you showed your vulnerability. Sometimes you truly don't want to be hurt again since you've been hurt over and over in your lifetime already.
