Is it normal to feel lonely at my age?
Okay I just hit 20 and for some reason for the past couple of years I've been feeling really lonely since I don't hang around with my friends as often mostly due to the fact that a lot moved a way after we graduated high school and now that we have more work academically and financially on our hands.
So is it normal to feel this way? I look at my parents and notice that they don't have that many friends either, well they know a lot of people but hardly meet any of them or hang out with them.
I get to see my friends now old and new at least maybe once in a month or 2 months. While back in high school I spent more time with them than alone.
So is this really how the rest of my life is gonna be?

it's normal to feel lonely at any time of ur life. If u don't have a gf, consider getting one. I feel lonely too once in a while, I'm 18, i have a bf and making friends is not really easy for me. so don't think it's abnormal. and feeling lonely doesn't have to be for the rest of your life. you still have a long way to go.

Hmm, well i'm kinda in the same boat as you. I'm 19 in a few weeks and to be honest i hardly go out at all. Most of my mates and i have grown apart sadly, and the ones i keep in contact with our busy with their own lives(boyfriends, one's pregnant etc)
Isn't there anyone from work or whatever you could hang about with? I don't think this is how the rest of you life is going to be, i just think we need to get out there - which you'll probably find easier than me as i can be quite shy. Don't worry too much though ok. Good luck :)

Why don't you go out to bars or clubs or something to meet new people? You can't possibly not have ONE friend. Take her, or him, and go out to those places and chat up some new people. Sitting at home and feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to help your situation. Go out! Have fun! You can definitely turn your lonliness around in a matter of hours.
