Feel so lonely

    This isn't a huge deal compared to some peoples problems but anyway...
    basically I feel so lonely since I left college last year. I didn't even have the greatest college experience, which i totally regret (too shy/reserved to join in many societies, hang out with people) but I did go to a few societies esp in final year, a few drunken nights out etc...
    Now I'm working full time, I feel as if I have absolutely NO life. This has become a worse problem as my bf, whos still in college, has recently joined a new society, and is always hanging out with them, going on trips away etc. I really miss being able to meet loads of random ppl, just turn up to events and start chatting to people.......it seems pretty much impossible as a working person.

    I do have a few friends from college but theyre always busy working and some have gone abroad. I have thought about joining some sort of club to meet people but classes and things like that are so expensive, and with my work schedule, its hard to commit to a certain time every week. I do intend to start going to language conversation groups in the library and things but I really want to meet people my age (22)....... I dont have a wide social circle as Ive moved around a lot, went to secondary school up north and lost contact with everyone there, so don't have a longtime best friend or anything like that. Had an amazing Erasmus year during college but again none of my friends there were Irish, and theyre not around, none of my family live in Dublin. I just feel really lost and alone and its 100 times worse now that my bf is having so much fun with his new mates.....I really want to find a group of mates of my own but where?

    Hey OP, you sound like you're the same age as many boards users and you're situated in Dublin which is where most boards users are too. The Ladies Lounge might be a good place to start, and also the Travel Forum considering your Eramus experience and your knowledge of languages. You seem like a nice person so I've a feeling you'll have know problem building up a few close friends with similar interests.
