One of my ex-friends told me she thought I could get a girlfriend and that I was just “overthinking it”. But how can I help but overthink about my situation? I am not getting younger, I am socially isolated, I am pressured to be a certain way instead of being accepted as an individual, and I can’t even make friends with women.
Perhaps putting more focus on the building friendships aspect is worthwhile. I believe that represents a significant portion of how I've had more success compared to you, because it's certainly not my looks, charming personality or witty banter.
It’s impossible for me to even establish friendships. People around me already have well developed friendship circles and aren’t interested in adding to them. It doesn’t help that I’ve lost previous female friends because their boyfriends won’t let them have male friends who themselves aren’t in relationships.
It's likely that you'll need to reestablish that to improve your overall situation. It's a lot harder to find someone if you don't know anyone. I'm not sure what advice to offer though, since I've let the same happen to my life.
