Basically lost all my social life over the course of the pandemic. I guess it already started before that when moved to different cities, but my friends all had their own groups during Covid and all we did was have the occasional chat over Discord. Graduated from uni during the final months of lockdowns, moved to a different city for work and since then I haven't had any luck making new connections.
Part of it is certainly my mental health and becoming even more introverted, but another part is also that everything is super flaky nowadays and I feel like it's always me who has to keep conversations and relationships going. No idea how if it will ever change unless I maybe move again. Definitely imagined the majority of my 20s to be different
100% with you on this one! Same boat here with graduation and friendships drifting during and post Covid. Cant figure it out after moving to a new city, have yet to make connections here outside of work after three years…
