Workplace is not for finding friends, there are no friends once you leave college, only connections

Failed at dating in school and college over rejections and my zest of focusing more on my career made me a robot to only focus on work, and not on friendships.

I thought I can get more friends in workplace. The organisation, despite a product based software company, has almost no women of my age. The other ones are married and only talk regarding work stuff.

I understand it's my mistake, that I am trying to look for HER through the only interaction I have right now, which is my 'work', but what is someone suppose to do in this situation.

My hobbies are photography, sketching and framing words into poems.

I don't drink or smoke, and this puts another hurdle in my interactions as people around me are smokers and drinkers.

Well I do agree, if I was good looking enough, I wouldn't have any problem, but, I need to find a way forward.

But the thing is, my next step, planning for a switch, can help my career but can destroy my mental health which is already shit lol.
