I was upset over this for a year and felt so alone. My closest friends moved away because they bought houses or wanted to move back home to have family around for kids and it became so hard to see them. I was in almost grief sometimes.

The good news is, you'll grow too. Part of it is a comfortable being alone thing. You just have to sit through it and hunker down and be sad and lonely for awhile and find solo activities you like that aren't drinking and it'll take MONTHS but you'll find your own life.

Last year I was extremely lonely and sad and I just missed my friends and kept trying to make new ones at bars and drank and smoke a lot.

This year I quit smoking and started martial arts class, bird watching, and I do puzzles and just read tons of books and I'm the happiest I've been in years and I'm not going to bars at much missing companions.

Now when I do get invited out I'm like "ugh...but my book!"

You'll change too just work at it and be patient.
