Sure, you have a few friends and acquaintances, but you rarely ever make the first move to spend time with them. Maybe you don’t know how to take the initiative and invite someone to spend time with you, or you don’t see a real point in going out of your way to spend time with others. Sound familiar?
At some point, loneliness stopped being something you felt and instead became something you were. You’ve found yourself justifying that it's easier to be alone, even if that feeling creates a hole somewhere in the pit of your stomach.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to put yourself out there and
make new friends, whether it’s joining a club,
striking up a conversation with a stranger, or
downloading a friend-finding app like Bumble BFF. The cure for your loneliness is within reach, as long as you’re willing to take the first step!
