All alone with no friends

I used to be > average in school, I had friends, used to play with them, but as I got into 11th/12th aka JEE race, I ducked up everything, I lost all of my friends. Thankfully I got into NIT, but sadly made only 1 friend during the whole 4 years, whom I considered best friend, but he was so secretive and didn't care much for me.

And last week the so called best friend and I got into arguments, and I blocked him. But after some time I unblocked and sent a sorry. But dare he say anything back, it was his mistake. It's been a week and he just ghosted my sorry.

Now I feel so ducked up, I ended up losing my only friend I made, who has actually no attachment to me. I feel it's good for me, as I got to know how much he values me.

I am here in Bangalore, living in a single room PG, working remotely, from my PG room, with no one to talk except family and a standup in the morning.

My mental health is worse now, every time I feel stressed, I end up watching corn, and it feels good, but now I am regretting it, my confidence is at the lowest, 10yo me dreamt of what not doing in life, and now I am living alone jerking each day. I feel d*ing is easier now than living like this.

I am an introvert who came to Bangalore because he felt lonely at home but found a way to socialise and get rid of loneliness.

  1. Try talking to people in Pg. Maybe while having breakfast and dinner. Pick any random topic like ipl etc and try to relate to them even though it is fake sometimes. People like to talk as much as you do believe me. If possible probably shift to a 2 sharing pg it will take a bit to adjust initially but you will be okay believe me. You will get a partner to roam around Atleast.

  2. Join gym and talk to people there. Learn about them and if possible try to help them. Don’t expect instant gratitude life will reward you in the most unexpected ways you can ever imagine.

  3. Stop watching corn and limit musterbation to once a week or once in a couple of weeks and slowly try to get rid of it. Initially it will be difficult to control but try stopping it till 21 days.

  4. Groom yourself well. Get a good skincare routine, good haircut and trim your beard. Nobody wants to talk to a person who looks bad. And yes Looks matters. You will also feel better when people starts noticing you.

  5. Reward yourself after every small achievements like buying some stuffs or having a good meal. Maybe offer some treat to your pg mates like tea/ ice creams etc. It will help to socialise.

  6. Try dating apps it will help you to be good with girls considering you get enough matches. Go on dates with 0 expectations.

  7. Stop watching reels. It messes up your head to expect instant gratification. Uninstall insta unless you are a creator. Use it to post stories perhaps.

  8. Accept your situation. You have come a long way so you will go further too. Have faith in yourself.

If you need someone to talk feel free to dm. Would be happy to help.

My suggestion is forget him for now. Corn, Drinking, and any other addiction is just coping mechanism. When you are struggling to socialize, Corn is worst as it lowers self esteem by guilt. Replace it with anything less worse first.

Then try to spend time outside room as much as possible, a walk in roof or in road is a good place to start. Do this often and you will start feeling bit better.

Then try to take up hobby, go for trips, join gym. Socialising with people will be easier by then.

I am in similar situation where I have few friends, good people but busy. Mostly alone all time and just lie on bed. I just distract myself with games social media, talking to family and colleagues more, reply to months old GV posts😅

You have to start somewhere. Do something, however small to start.

Hello friend. I am in the same situation. I am also passout of a Tier 1/2 college. I was a topper throughout and guess what I never had any friends. In college I was not a topper and there I had 4 friends. But now we hardly talk like once a year or two. Don't worry mate. Life gives you many situations. Since you are alone you are bound to overthink. So what others have said like join Playo for playing sports. I know condition is hard and no suggestion helps us. But socialising through those techniques may prove helpful.

Try to make an effort to really put yourself out there, there won't be any what ifs in your mind.

  1. Go out on solo dates. Eat out, roam around, explore the city.
  2. Join travel groups who organise the entire trip for you.
  3. Meet your school friends again, plan to catch up.
  4. Have peace of body by working out, peace of mind will follow. Do this atleast 3-4x a week, you'll feel good.
  5. Put your energy into eating right, nutritional food. It'll take a while to get used to.
