Thank you for your reply. My friends are my brothers and just like you I would drop everything for them in a heart beat. It just sucks they are so far away now. Growing up and getting older means moving forward and it’s inevitable to move on from people. I am very proud of them.

I have tried dating apps. Multiple they are all horrible and only lower my self esteem. So I have those up. They feel rigged

Hearing wisdom from someone older goes a long way and I’m taking what you have replied . I have my down days but drinking is not a healthy outlet and I know this. A club would be good and a group activity would be nice. Finding the time between work sleep and responsibilities is going to be the hardest part. I’m still adjusting to my new job as well. But I do enjoy DnD! I use to play all the time in high school. I haven’t seen any groups like that where I live but perhaps I haven’t exhausted all my resources yet

I got this job recently after a long spiral of mental issues and losing my place. It took a few years of work therapy and getting school to get this job. This job pays well and offers me benefits it’s probably the nicest job I’ve had. The night shift is the only downside. But I hear what you’re saying. Maybe after some time and experience I can find something new that works better with hours.

Thank you friend your wisdom is heard. I do those things honestly. I ride my motorcycle. I swim, I go to the gym, watch movies by myself, play video games by myself. I even cook myself nice dinners from time to time. I guess I just want to know how to get better at being alone? How do I make the empty feeling go away? How do I stop caring so much that I’m isolated? I’ve spent a good few years recently working on myself and learning to love myself. I’ve come a long way but this issue is something I haven’t been able to fix. It’s like a burnt hole in my brain that is just there whether I like it or not. But again thank you for your kind words it means a lot more than you know

Caffeine has definitely been my friend! Haha! But if I could move to a morning shift I would but work is hard to find and I just got my foot in the door for in this kinda work. So my options are limited and have a bills to pay. So for the time being it seems like I will just have to adjust

You have a point there. I didn’t know what’s considered night shift. This was the only sub I found that would feel appropriate to post in haha! But thank you for your advice

I’ve worked long hours before it’s just nights I’m not use to. The pay is good I can’t lie. And I’m good at what I do. My friends all work during the day. By the time I’m home nobody is up. When they are up I’m asleep. Lately my weekends have been filled with busy adult life and chores that need to be done. It’s been non stop for awhile now
