Lonely and guilty about it
Anxiety Support / by Artistickiddo55

...See more My biggest problem right now is that Ive recently started life at uni and Im feeling so lonely. Im far away from home too-in a different country, so naturally I get homesick often. I cant complain about adjusting in life here, I dont mind the lectures and studying, I enjoy cooking and I dont mind household chores...in fact im a generally introverted person so I enjoy much of this time alone and I seek to spend most of my days on my own. But this has started to worry me. I feel guilty for not having the full university experiece everyone keeps talking about but I just dont feel that Ive found someone to call a friend to share all these with. I dont feel trully comfortable with anyone, not a single soul I can say we share the same interests and way of thinking. I keep seeing posts and stories of my friends from home at other towns/countries and they all seem so happy and to have found at least a close friend. Especially on a friday night all the stories consist of clubing or large parties or just being somewhere else, but together and happy. And I feel so lonely. I want that connection too. Please dont tell me to socialize as I have t ried to and as an introverted person (not necessarily shy, Im pretty confident most of the time) I did my best. The people I met however dont make me feel complete and so I dont seek to spend time with them and I end up spending much time in my room while the majority of people I know are having fun and living life to the fullest. Im starting to feel desperate; am I not going to meet someone to become friends with? It seems that everyone is moving forward and Im stuck in my loneliness.
