I don't often do this, but I feel like... complaining... venting... lamenting... not sure what the right word is. I didn't want to do it on Facebook so here I am with all of you lovely strangers. I've been feeling very isolated lately. Not because of being a non believer, it's more everyday than that. I live in a small town that I love, there are a lot of great people in it, and I have friends, but lately I can't get anyone to hang out. I changed jobs so I never see my old work friends anymore, one friend has a new boyfriend so I never see her anymore, another got engaged so I never see him anymore, my awesome roommate had to move out because rent went up and my new one is always holed up in his room with his girlfriend. I feel like my entire life right now is working and working out. (and too much time in front of a screen) I like getting outside (I mean, I live at the beach) but it would be nice to not always have to do it alone. And as for finding a significant other, I'm starting to feel like that ship has sailed. No wait, maybe it burned down in the harbor... This town is too small and the pickings are slim (and I'm not slim so there's that too...) Sigh... pity party over I guess.

As we go through life we find friends will say sayonara as our interests and finances change. People drift apart and we make new acquaintances through our hobbies, group activities or personal likes and dislikes. Its living.

Yep. There are times like that. You sound very likable, so I'll bet you soon have new pals in your life.

Sorry you are feeling like this. I totally understand and feel the need to lament quite often, too. Loneliness is painful but it is very common. A close friend is the best thing to have but when that is not available, groups can help. Are there any organisations or groups in your town or nearby that share your interests that you could join?

Firstly, sorry but you are not very good at ranting. But you are still young, you will learn. When I rant I really bitch and whinge.
Other than that, yeah, can well understand.
Thankfully I also live at the beach and can (have to) enjoy my own company.
Things will improve, I think you have just hit a slump because others have changed directions within a small time frame.

Feel a little better now? Sometimes a good rant is needed to clear the mind.
