    Not sure how or what to say.

    I'm 23 yr old female. I'm in a weird situation career wise, basically off college for this year due to medical issues. They're being dealt with though and not a huge issue. What is bothering me is I'm really lonely.

    I have friends, but most are in college, therefore busy, abroad or working. I want to meet new ppl, esp.... well men. :(

    I'm pretty broke, and not in a college environment, where I never had problems meeting ppl/men due to socs/teams and just hanging out. So no clue where to meet ppl.

    So unsure of where to make friends, and also quite shy as I have moderate acne (face/torso/arms) and hate my weight. :( [I'm treating it with meds put not really working, talking to my dr about it, but no ''stronger'' options. ]

    Any suggestions

    Have you thought of doing volenteering work local to you... There is obv some groups where you find more of one sex than another...

    Also you can fine tune your skills of talking to men by getting involved in conversation on boards etc...

    Can you not join societies anyway? As an external member?

    Join a club, such as a martial arts one or a fitness class. You'll meet new people and lose weight!

    All the above advice you got in your post here is spot on...

    Get out and mingle. Choose an activity which involves others, eg gym, sports, library etc. Doesn't have to cost a fortune anyway. Don't pay lots of money to join a gym where, in my experience, lots of people go with very "focussed" frame of mind may not be receptive to making friends.
    Choose exercise class type of thing, dance class, just be careful they're not all full of girls.

    Forget the acne thing. Most people have had that sort of thing and it's always worse when you look in a mirror, but on another person it never seems as bad... you know I'm right!!! Don't let a few spots prevent you from enjoying life. As regards weight, get your walking shoes on and get out there. It sounds easy, because it is.... trust me :)
