Does anyone else feel so out of touch with your social life, friends and dating, both?
All through my life (grew up abroad) things have just clicked, from making friends to a romantic relationship I was in. Ever since I moved to the US for college, everything has felt so arranged, to the point where I don’t even know what it’s like to make and have friends anymore. I don’t even know how to approach dating, with all of these metrics put out there to measure how good or bad someone is as a potential date.
If you don’t understand what I mean by “arranged”, a good example would be how specific appointment-like meet ups are needed to put yourself out there socially. Like I’m so used to things happening gradually with people you see and spend time with everyday, even if it is against your will.
Now I don’t know if this is a US thing or if it’s a large-campus and adult thing.
I’ve kinda shut off from a lot of things, and don’t find appeal in “opportunities” around me.
