    I feel so lonely lately which is weird for me since i usually enjoy being by myself. I have only one real friend and she a doctor so she's pretty busy, i don't see her that often. I'm shy and i don't even know how to meet new people. All I do lately is going to the library, it's not really a good way to make friends. It probably would be easier if i had a job, if i was around people all day.
    I know i should probably join some club or something but again shy and there's not a lot of things that i enjoy doing. Just venting i guess. Is any of you in this situation right now ?

    I kinda feel the same. A few years ago, the friendship with my 3 best friends ended and since then I didn't have any close friends. There are some people I like to meet and I can have a lot of fun with, but I'm not sure if I can call them friends because we don't really talk about private things or stuff like that.
    I sometimes miss having 'real' friends.

    I feel lonely a lot here. I am from South Africa but I live in Korea now. I have been here for 6 and a half years. Friends have come and gone and I'm not in touch much with friends back home. I am usually OK on my own but it does take its toll.
    This site has helped some. I chat to people here as I actually don't know any gay people in Seoul.
    I hope you feel better and if you want to talk... allez-y :slight_smile:

    Hey BelleLey :slight_smile:
    Not having a regular job also can make things feel quite empty--even if the interaction isn't too deep at work, there's still something nice about talking to people and seeing familiar faces every day. I moved to a new city four years ago and was lucky to have a partner then, but still, luckily I made some friends going to dance class and some LGBTIQ groups while I did some study on the side at university. Slowly building up a base of people to hang out with. slowly.
    But yeah...it's not so easy sometimes. It will pass. Big hugs.
