@.lifewith_cc: Today was one of those days loneliness really hit, my apartment building held a pool party for all residents instead of having fun I kinda felt sorry for myself as I looked around and everyone was in their groups, talking, laughing, catching up and there I was, by myself. I know people will say ‘go make friends’ but unless you’ve moved to a different country on your own it’s hard to explain how difficult that can be, your starting from zero, no friends, no family nothing. This isn’t a pity post I’m genuinely grateful that I got to take this chance, I choose to do it and I’m so fkn proud of myself but I also think no one talks about this side at all! Some times the hardest part isn’t moving countries it’s building a new life from scratch when everyone around you is already settled. If your going through the same thing just know your not alone.

You already won when you got out the door and showed up.

Instead of telling him to go talk to people, maybe everyone should take this as a learning moment and when you see someone solo in the future, invite them in. That’s how we build better societies. It used to take a village remember?

Going there is like 90% of the effort. Good job, I wouldn't.

As simple as it sounds I don’t think people really understand how hard it is to approach people especially in a place with hundreds of people in their own groups…

Simon Wilson on YouTube, he’s a solo traveler and can spark conversation with ANYONE ANYWHERE. Feel like watching his videos is a master class on speaking to people and has helped me in situations like these, I recommend!!

I feel like the older you get it’s harder to make friends as an adult. Glad you went that’s good 😌

I’m about to cry. You look so cool and confident that if I saw you in a situation like this I would assume you were just waiting on a friend.

People aren’t welcoming to new folks. It’s really hard to break into established friend groups. I’m resigned to not having friends

Sit alone with a drink, don't focus on your phone, try to look like you're open, looking around showing interest in the place, hopefully, a group of golden retrievers will come to recruit you

I guess now when you bump into people you can say you were there, ask what they thought of the party and then say you look forward to seeing them at the next one? Then you have an opener next time x

as someone w/ social anxiety who would NEVER show up to things like this, this is an absolute win by itself. You got ready, showed up, put yourself out there, participated, so what if you werent the most popular person there? You don't have to be! This looks like a win to me!🫶🏼

People are lame man. 50% would have found it “weird” if you approached them. Nobody is ACTUALLY social anymore.
