Hi @Bel_RO, I'm new here so apologies if I mess up any formatting, just wanted to say I've just finished my first year of uni and have had some difficulties making new friends so this has really resonated with me. It's quite relieving to hear about others' experiences of loneliness and difficulties making new friends, especially when all my other high school friends have ended up making lots of new connections and I'm stuck wondering if it's just me with this problem.

If I was to add a silver lining, I feel like my experience of loneliness has led me to focus more deeply on my existing friendships and put greater focus on solidifying those relationships rather than having many surface-level friends.
