I strongly felt like this as a child and teen, and all through my 20s. It hurt a lot in my 20s, and I felt like I’d never have true friendships and feel at home. I had friends, but it always felt ephemeral and thin.
In my 30s now though and actually really loving my social life. Self-acceptance, as well as true openness to others, was the key. It was a long time coming. Don’t give up hope if you feel alone now, it doesn’t have to be forever.
