This may sound odd, but I was happy to find this online. I moved to Canada 6 months ago and it's been so hard to make any friends. My life consists of getting up in the morning, working out, showering, breakfast, work, home, eat, tv, shower, bed and the same again the very next day. I thought I would meet people in work and gain some kind of a social life. In my first job most people had formed in to cliques and much as I tried to start conversations, I was generally met the "who are you to talk to me" look. So I took action a month ago and changed my job hoping I would find friends. I now work with all guys in an IT Department who barely speak and don't seem to socialise at all. The lonliness is starting to get to me big time and I have to stop myself from crying when I see my front door in the evening.. I don't come straight home form work and find myself hanging around the mall not wanting to face the idea of sitting in my apartment alone. Last weekend, I spent in my Pajamas and sat in the apartment. I think now I'm just so depressed due to the loneliness and I have no idea how to change it or what to do. I've looked in to meeting groups but they don't organise anything to do and the last time they organised a cinema outing, I was the only one to show so I went home and decided to give up on it. I knew moving 4,000 miles was going to be tough but I didn't think I'd be alone all the time. I find now at the weekends that once the apartment door closes behind me on Friday evening I don't see the hallway until Monday morning and I think my depression is starting to show. I don't seem to talk to people as easily as I used to in that I trip over my words if a cashier asks me a question in a shop. If I knew how to change this, I would. | |
