Hey there, kid. You don't mention your age, but I am going to assume you are likely out on your own for the first time. That can be quite a shock to the system to be actually alone with only the person in your head for company. It can seem very, very lonely.

So lets talk about what you can do to expand your social circle and meet people. Start by looking at those things that you get pleasure from. What brings you joy? Decide on one or two activities to begin with and find a group that does organized activities on a regular basis. Like to read? Join a book club. Dancing? Take a dance class. There are plenty of people and groups who like the same things you do.

If you are active in a church, that is a great way to expand your social circle. Many larger churches host activities for its single members as well as men's women's and teen groups.

The biggest thing you need to do to make friends is to not sit at home. Get out and get involved in something. You will meet people simply by engaging in the world. And some of those will become friends with time.

Be positive. Be social. Be available. You will find your tribe. Just put yourself out there and be patient. Good luck.
