I feel lonely sometimes..?
When I was in high school, I had two friends. They moved away for college and I tried to keep in contact with them, but it was clear that they made tons of new friends and they didn't care about me anymore. I got tired of being the one to text/call them so I stopped. We haven't talked for more than a year now. I stayed in the city to go to college, and I just go to class, then leave. I talk to people in class, but it's not like we would hang out. The only person I have is my boyfriend and family, but sometimes I feel so alone. I literally have NO friends. I don't talk to anyone other than my boyfriend. When he is busy, I feel so alone. I am jealous of poeple with a social life. How do I stop feeling so lonely?

Start talking to others, make some friends.That's about all you can do except for getting a pet or hobby.
Sweetheart join the club ! I am still trying to figure that out but the sad thing is i still am just trying. I can understand what you are goin thru. Trust me i can relate to it quite well. Sometimes we feel a special connection with some people and we cant really define it s friendship/love. Its just unique. We try to search for that in others but end up as a big failure because somepeople cant be replaced by others no matter how much we try. Thats just the way life is sometimes. You mentioned your friends moved away and you were the one who was trying to hold on to them and tried to keep in touch but they ignored you big time. Sweetie, You did the right thing. It shows you were the better person. IF they couldnt appreciate you for trying to be there and still in touch its their loss and not yours. Just stop feeling this way because you dont deserve it in the first place. Sometimes ppl just move away and change in a way so much we can hardly recognise the new person. You cant really blame them because there may be other factors like circumstances etc.. which may have made them act that way. IYou know what if i dint know better i would advice you to go and try contact them and reconnect but i m just totally against it now because if they dont respond you ll feel more miserable. So just leave it be. Just cherish the good times and realise their chapter is over in your life and move on.
As for the loneliness, There is nothing which we cant do to make it go away atleast for most of the time. The answer is just within us. Just pursue whatever makes you feel interested, any passions,just go for anything tht would make you happy. Plz remember ppl wont be always around you. Sometimes its upto us to help ourselves. Just dig deep inside yourself. You ll know how to beat that feeling. I just keep telling yourself "This too shall pass and i need to get out of this loneliness and be happy. I deserve it! " It works for me most of the times. Let me warn you it may be difficult initially but trust me it ll get better and you ll start feeling better soon.
Good luck. Keep smiling. and Just cheer up !
Hope I helped!
Cheers! :D
Make friends at school and exchange numbers. Hang out outside of class. You can meet people everywhere at school.
Libraries, class, cafeteria ect.. And you might meet other people through them as well!
Go out to social events like parties, take your boyfriend so you can have confidence.
Good luck!
Maybe you should TRY to talk to your class mates, there's nothing to lose. Smiling always helps when you start making friends, so don't forget to smile :)
