I’m 21 and basically never had a friend

First off, I have had social interaction through work, and I’m close with my siblings. But I’m never around the same people at work due to the nature of the job, and my siblings are all older than me and live very far away.

But I grew up homeschooled, my family had a lot of issues at the time, which I don’t mind talking about but I don’t want to make public on a post like this, but they left me alone for large portions of time during my childhood, like alone all day generally. I was homeschooled through highschool as well through a program that let me go to work and do my schoolwork afterwards at home, no socializing there either. I started doing MMA at 17, and I did meet people at the gym, as in people who knew my name, but never anything you’d call friends. I’ve never struggled with eye contact or making conversation, but I’ve just never been in a situation to make friends.

And now I live way out in the woods essentially, i feel even more isolated

I really feel like it’s started messing with me, I’m extremely insecure over the most nonsensical things and it changes all the time, i feel extremely alone and isolated basically 24/7 and i’ve fooled myself into thinking its deserved at times

I’ve felt really out of my mind a bit, super detached from reality. I cry at work when i’m alone, cry at home regularly, just sort of randomly. Right now I feel very good in comparison to how I have felt and its all a bit of a blur, so if anything i may make my feelings sound better than they have been lol

I don’t really even know why I’m writing this, maybe someone will relate. I HAVE made friends online I will say, and maybe thats more than some people here. It goes without saying that I’ve never been on a date or anything as well. Idek, this is really just a rant atp.

Helloo, I’m Wyatt, I’m looking for friends lately because I live in a pretty rural area and have been kinda isolated lately, I’ve made great friends on here in the past, some i’ve had for 5+ years, so i’m trying it again :)

I’ll say some stuff about myself but even if we don’t have much in common don’t worry, most of my friends have very different interests and it’s never been an issue, i like hearing about things i’m not personally into.

I love music of all kinds really, I play a few instruments, I’m do MMA, I’m into fitness in general, i’ve lost 100+ lbs in the past and love to help people with weight-loss if thats something you’re doing, I’m into a lot of older video games and I love anything thats kind of atmospheric and horror-y (Silent Hill 2 might be my favorite game)

I’m usually pretty silly, i try not to take myself or things I have going on too seriously, but I’m always down to listen to someone if they have something serious to talk about, I want to be a good friend even if I haven’t known someone very long.

Anyway, if you’d like to talk feel free to hmu :) also my pfp is my face, its not someone else 😭 a few people have asked who it is 🤷‍♂️

Helloo, my name is Wyatt, I’m from the southern US (CST), my sleep schedule is up and down so it doesn’t really matter where you’re from as long as its not extremely different.

I believe I’m a pretty chill guy, the majority of my friends have very different interests from myself but I’m super into Music, MMA, fitness in general. I am definitely into nerdy stuff as well but most of the games I play are older, I played a lot of hand me down stuff as a kid and ended up loving it lol, but I will fs try new stuff if anyone wants to play.

I enjoy talking basically whenever I’m not doing something else, I live in a rural area so I have long drives to vc on all the time as well if you like those. I like to be silly, pretty much all the time, but I don’t mean that I mind talking about serious topics, i try to be there for people if they need someone to talk to, and I’m a pretty open book about myself as well.

Random things I love: The souls games, Warcraft 3, VERY long walks, talking to random animals like they are people I know, silent hill 2, yume nikki, Stone Temple Pilots, My black earrings that i broke while wrestling. Using gifs that feature dogs exclusively. green stuff (???), Cooking and baking

Everything I’ve already written got flagged as low effort? So i guess i’m just going to write some stuff down here. Demon’s souls for the ps3 is my favorite souls game, i don’t have a ps5 so idk about the remake but the atmosphere in the original is just so weird and trippy and cool, even though the game is extremely flawed.

Still low effort somehow?? 😭 what??
