My therapist wants me to get out more and socialize.  I have been going to Meetup.com events.

I went to one last night. I don't get lonely from being alone but I do feel lonely from being in a group I don't feel I belong in. I managed to last just over an hour in total before I became so depressed that I could no longer stand it. I am still depressed nearly a full day later.

I feel the same.  I have friends from work, from my school years and former people I had met.  But only a few I could consider friends that I am comfortable with.  

I don't feel good at office parties and events cause most of my real/ close friends had already moved to new jobs.  It gets lonely not having somebody to really mingle at parties.  But I do feel the isolation when they take group photos and I feel like a photo bomber.
