I feel that I am becoming more and more lonely...

I used to have people who shared my likes, like walking, taking pictures, being in nature and living those kind of adventures, but for life's reasons I got separated from those people.


I started college and got a girlfriend, we love each other too much and she doesn't have many friends either but I feel that at some point she will find them and I will be alone.


I have people to talk to but not as deep as I would like, just superficial things. My college friends only like to party and drink alcohol but I'm not that kind of person; and I can't find someone with whom I can just share everything I would like to, talk about life, death, science, personal development...


My girlfriend doesn't share those kind of tastes with me either so I feel alone in that aspect, and I have a feeling that the more time goes by, the more lonely I will be; I just can't find someone.

Hey :) When I moved to a new town for university I found myself in quite a similar situation.
You wrote that you like "deep conversations" more than shallow ones and I can totally understand that. But maybe you need to have some small-talk before starting a conversation about a heavier topic. Getting to know new people is a very slow, sometimes frustrating process, but my experience was that if you try and make a step towards the other person they will appreciate it. Especially in college the chances are pretty high this person also has no new friends yet. If most of your classmates like to party, maybe look for the people that also don't go to those parties. Or maybe go to a party, it's a good way to meet a lot of people. Hope my answer could lift you up a bit, have a nice day :)
