In highschool i always had friends, someone to talk to, sit next to etc. But I would never get invited to anything outside of school. It never bothered me much as I am somewhat introverted but now, later on, I realise how much I missed out on.
After graduatuion I spoke to my friends less and less, and as I’d started a trade I found it hard to make new friends my age, or stay together with ones I already had. I still never got invited to anything my friends were doing. I am finding it hard at the moment to go out and socialise, without a main group of friends to go with. It's only started to really bother me as I see my younger brother going out often with his friends and I realise I never had that, aswell as I am wanting a girlfriend and it is alot harder to find one as I don’t go out much.
I am Male, 19, and am just posting as I am wondering if there are any suggestions or recommendations in what I could do. I know I could go out by myself but I am not that type of person, nor social enought to pull that off. I could also message my high school friends but I feel as if it is always me engaging, or making plans.
