How to trust the process?

Hello, I’m 23 and I really am struggling with loneliness. I spent a lot of my teen years online and when I finally started to become independent I realized I really hated that and would rather have had local friends. I’m doing all the right steps, I’m in 2 types of therapy, on meds that make it manageable, have picked up a ton of hobbies to do by myself. I have no problem making friends as I’m very sociable and easy to talk to and For the first time I’ve finally joined groups that host social events but they aren’t for another 3-5 weeks. So I know when the time comes I WILL start having friends, but I’m struggling to really trust the process right now. Even when doing a hobbie I feel lonely, I have things I absolutely love doing but half the time I just crave a connection so my mind wanders. Any advice or techniques to share on how to trust this process and dark time I’m on before the good comes?
