I do

I get this is unsolicited advice and almost certainly you just wanted to vent and not hear solutions, but I wish someone told me this when I was really lonely.

There’s a group of people nearby that regularly gather to do something you enjoy doing. You must find their bulletin boards, meet-up groups and congregate with them.

Do not go to make friends. Do not go to solve your loneliness. Do not actively avoid making friends, but you must make your intentions clear. You are going to have fun and help others do the same.

Dedicate yourself to this for a year and every problem you have now will be solved.

If you choose not to accept this mission then instead set a reminder in your calendar for a year from now and reach out to me then.

I do appreciate your advice immensely.

Unfortunately, where I live, within the bounds of the transport i have, may as well be The Middle Of Nowhere. My parents (myself being a minor) are also restrictive of who I can be friends with and spend time with, and would likenly not let me congregate with people who aren't problematic on a regular basis.

I'll try my best to implement this thiugh, there are some things I can do within this realm eben thiugh it may not fully solve my problem.

Tha ks again for your advice.

Oh, I didn’t realise the extent of your predicament. Yes, that is quite a snare you find yourself in.

You know, with parents, even problematic ones there is still a lot of safety. I too was in this situation, to get out of it, I had to be homeless for a bit.

It all worked out, but it easily may not have. But because I did that I could easily help others in similar situations for a while. My house was like a hostel for a bit.

I have kids now, so I can’t do that anymore, and wouldn’t recommend that path, but I’m just saying, I do get it.

I think you have the right attitude.
