I have two thoughts about this:
The first is that God sometimes uses social isolation to perfect your personality and make you a stronger and more independent person
The second is the bible teaches that your friends increase as your knowledge and wisdom and understanding and insight grows, because people will be interested in somebody who always has an informed point of view to share so life experience will help you attract people
And if you feel lonely, sometimes reaching out to other lonely people can make you feel better, have you thought about doing a clothing drive or volunteering at a food bank or helping out as a social companion with widowed female seniors? I’m not saying that you have to do this to be accepted, but it will increase your social confidence and make you feel better
I cope with the fact I don’t have a boyfriend by treating Jesus as if Jesus was my lover and that satisfies me so that I’m less interested in chasing ever romantic chance I think I might get
And people tell me Jesus is their father figure or their best friend when they are lonely for those who do not have those things - I listen to songs about God’s love for me on YouTube to help me cope with feeling lonely
Yes I know exactly how you feel. I was the one who united my whole group of friends. They wouldn’t know each other or at least not hang out with one another of it weren’t for me. Then it was like oh don’t need me anymore and now It’s like I never existed. Cast out like a leper. No one even talks to me. I’ve tried to hang out with them. they don’t answer my calls anymore. So it was just me and my one girlfriend for a while but She moved to her moms in Florida after she lost her job. … I have always had close friends , same group since kindergarten. Then in a blink of an eye they were gone without word. I don’t know if I did something and I probably won’t ever find out. I’m 33 you’d think over 25 years of being friends you wouldn’t just cut that person out of your life. And now everyone else is getting married having kids It’s been the loneliest most depressing, 4 years of my lifetime. I care a lot less about dying now though. So there’s a silver lining. Any ways, cheer up at least you’re not me.
It's just apart of life and this does happen to everyone eventually at some point. The friends we made in school for the most part were a stepping stone for us to gain social skills so that later on in life we can succeed and coordinate in group efforts when needed. It helps with finding a good job and a good mate.
As I got older it seemed like that. My friends all drifted away. I am guilty too because my life got so busy with my family and job that I really did not go out of my way to see them.

I realized long ago that its every man/woman for themselves. So shit i dont miss them either and i was likely the one to cut them off first. You just gotta be okay with being without then
Can’t identify with that but I’m not dependent upon another for validation. In Christ Jesus validates me so most stuff is just what it is…
u Aww you poor girl don’t worry about it you have your boyfriend you have your mother and father and you have your gag buddy Iron Man to talk to you
I'm sorry that you feel this way, feeling lonely isn't nice. Unfortunately people come and go, it's a part of life, true friends are rare nowadays. Maybe see a therapist, or start a new hobby, where you can meet like-minded people?
You summed up my transition from highschool to leaving home and becoming an adult.
Plenty of people care about you Jayleen. It’s just completely normal for high school friends to not remember you (happened to me )
Dont forget you have yourself which is most important. Fuck other people tbh
No I don't feel that way but know that you have friends and you are loved I'm always he if you want to talk hang in there I promise it will get better
It's okay, Jay. I understand. 💜
