Its been more than a year since I left university. I have no friends near me. Nothing has improved for months and I am really not happy with how my life is going. I feel like this part of my life is a write off.
I have a job before anyone just posts "get a job", I'm temping now but its in the area I want to get into and I could see myself being offered a permanent role when things get better. The problem is that in order for me to have this job I have to live with my parents. Rent in my area is too expensive on what I am earning and there aren't many flat shares.
I don't have any local friends, my uni friends live at least 4 hours away, my work colleagues all commute long distances, I'm not in touch with people from school and don't really want to be after how miserable I was in school. I tried to get out more in my local area but did not really meet or see anyone my age. I even volunteered for a while but it was just middle aged women. I've tried joining clubs and teams but there is not much going on in my town and often the people who go to them aren't even local.
I cant afford a car and don't particularly want to do a long commute just to socialise. I manage to visit uni friends at the weekend a few times a year but I'm stuck on my own midweek. I hate being stuck on my own after work and life in general right now. I try my best to stay positive but there are times when I just want to go straight to bed after getting in from work to avoid sitting about feeling lonely.
