Hey brothers,

It's been a while.

Now what brings me here is that I feel I have no social circles. So, it's my summer break and I've mandatory work exp for uni. My social media is quite....no one messages me first. I've always been the person in n a friendship to message first, first one to call, first one to invite to hangouts and after genuinely feeling burnt out from trying I've stopped......and that's it, no one, and I mean no one, attempted to reach out to me. You know how shitty that makes me feel? Sure, people have their own lives, granted, but if you have the time to see stories and post stories, you do have the time to reply...right? And like don't even get me started with my female friends...if I can even call them that. I've had to end 3 "friendships" as it was becoming too toxic. And then like for one of them, I asked her if she wanted to hang out, she said she'll let me know, 2 weeks past the said date of hanging, still no reply, and then leaves me on read. That's the state of my relationships, either don't attempt to reach out or show no enthusiasm in having a conversation. And if I actually disconnect from them, I'll have no one.... literally no one.

And I don't have time to go to social events due my work and I was suggested to join dating apps, 300 swipe lefts and 2 swipe rights...and the two that did were fake accounts. I don't know how else to meet new people.....shucks....dude ....sorry for the rant....I just need some advice.
