So let me start this off by saying I’m a pretty lonely guy, I don’t have any in real life friends my own age apart from the odd couple of old school friends I barely see or speak to anymore, and it’s been this way since I was probably about 15/16 that my social circle has dwindled more and more sortve when lock down happened pretty much
locked myself away and missed out on some pretty key social building skills years . Now I’m at a point I’m sick of being well alone it feels, now when I was younger teenager I realise why most of my friendships ended, I was a pretty compulsive liar, won’t discuss specifics of the shit I used to spew as I’m very ashamed, so kinda desvered, but I’ve been trying to change it for a while now and I’ve been doing much better these last couple years
Anyways I would like some advice on how to seek a relationship with someone as a adult because it been a while, since I was 16, how to build more friendships and meet new people because I absolutely suck at holding conversation with strangers especially in person.
Any friends I have made or thought that I had made over the last couple of years just end up ghosting me after a couple of months and I can’t really figure out why, it must obviously be something about me, my personality or something I am doing which is off putting to them I just can’t figure it out
I’m quite a work minded individual, Im not a loud person fairly shy really, interested in anything with a engine really lol, love music
Have always had trouble making friends, apart from when online (find it much easier to hold conversation), but it’s gotten so much worse since leaving the education system
Tldr; rambled on about my social life, seeking advice, all my friends ghost me and I can’t find a gf to save my life
