Making Friends

I don’t know how to make friends and meet new people. I’m from a small town and when social media and texting started getting big in middle school I never really got into it. I didn’t really ever message anyone because all my friends were always around at school or practice. Now that I’m in University I don’t feel comfortable initiating contact whether it’s through social media or texting. I feel lonely and isolated, and I don’t have any close friends to talk to anymore, since I moved to go to school.

I know the feeling. It’s so hard making friends, especially now with COVID. It always seemed so easy making friends as a kid not so much when you’re older. People are so judgmental it sucks.
