I'm insanely jealous of people who bond / make friendships so easily... I used to be that person.

I'm so jealous of the people that are so likeable to the majority of people, whereas I rarely click with people during the first meeting and I need time to grow on them.

When I was in university, I felt like I had so many friends since I always was talking to people. But now I graduated university a year ago and the friendships either fizzled out or ended. Plus everyone at my work is old too so I can't really make friends there.

I regret a lot of the choices I've made that have put me in this situation where I feel like I have no friends. I should've done things differently and made more of an effort. Especially now that we have a pandemic and it's so much harder to go out and meet people :( One of the reasons I applied to grad school for this fall was so I could build friendships and connections again, and work harder to maintain them, but now the program is online so I don't even have that to look forward to, which is super disappointing.
