I feel like I am all alone

[Loll0405]

I am a first year student at uni and I feel all alone. In my first term I started to see academic staff from my uni and I had to keep everything secret.  I spent all my free time with him and didn't spend time with my friends. Now we are no longer together and I have no friends left. Making new friends is so hard even if I try and I miss him more because I ma lonely. I don't know what to do. Can anyone give me an advise

Hi

A website called meet up has a range of different people with different interests, I take my kids to ymca groups through that site but there is so many different groups I'm certain you'll find something that interests you. 

Good place to start

Good luck

Have you thought about joining clubs or societies at uni? It's a great way to meet people and you can choose something specific to your interests. 

 I'm sure you'll find someone and then they'll introduce you to more people and it'll all work out I promise. xx

Hi Loll0405,

Welcome to the forums and
thanks for reaching out!

I'm sorry that you've
been feeling lonely at uni.  I'm at TAFE myself but I know the struggle of
feeling a bit isolated.  The great thing about Uni's is that they have so
many different ways to get connected - I'm not sure which uni you're at but
most Uni's have open days, social events and clubs running all year long. These
can be great opportunities to reach out and find someone.

Another way to make some
new friends might just be about starting small - say hi to someone when you're
at lunch, or try Facebook/social media to see what events are in the area.

Finally, remember that
being alone doesn't necessary have to be lonely! Sometimes it can be good to
spend time on your own.  Especially if you're struggling with a break up
sometimes alone time is necessary so that you can clear your head and have a
fresh start again.

Hope this helps!

Hey dear Loll0405!!

I wish I could go through the screen and give you a big big hug, but a virtual one will do, so here goes XX I hope that makes you feel better! 🙂 Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling lonely, I am still in high school so I don't know much about Uni, but do you sometimes do assignments with partners? I think that'd be a great start to making friends, also at lunch at a cafe or some place, is it also common to make friends and conversations there? And romantic_thi3f is right, maybe you can see what event is on nearby and you can try to make some friends there? I am also lonely, quite often actually! But I do feel better when I talk to family, and I try to make some friends at work as well, if you have a job maybe you can try that too? 🙂

Anyways, I hope I've helped you dear Loll0405!! If not here's just another big big hug XX Please get back to me anytime you like!! I know how hard it is being lonely and I'm sure you can find lots of great internet friends here on BB! Have a good night Loll, thinking of you 🙂

With Love,

Grace xx
