Going through a break up and feeling lonely in the process

[Resilience98]

Hi everyone, Im new to this platform.

I decided to join because Im going through a break up/moving out of my bf's apartment. I've been feeling very lonely since he became my best friend and main support these past 2 years. I don't have many friends and I partly blame the pandemic but I also distanced myself from friends that I didn't feel a connection with anymore. Now I realize I don't have any friends left. I would love to meet new people and have a normal social life

I think talking about it and seeing other people's perspectives and experiences can help with my current anxiety and fear of starting a whole new life alone.

Thank you

Yes life can be hard when relationships fail, every failure seems to hit the heart and most people feel lonely and unwanted.

All I can advice is allow time to get over that loss and allow yourself to wait for a period before you find someone new. Try not to jump into the arms of a new relationship that can be the worst thing you can do as you may be attracting the wrong type of person caused by needfulness

Thank you Bob, I absolutely agree with you. I’m not ready to date or meet anybody new after a 2 year relationship 😬

Thanks for your advice, very much appreciated 🙏🏽
