Feeling lonely, difficulty making friends

Hi,

I am feeling really lonely today. I am not in contact with parents due to abuse, and I'm single, so I have been focused on trying to make friends. I am also in school full time so it's been really hard to meet people. I have limited time to go to events and join groups. I got to a dance class once a week, but it is pretty far drive. My friends from school are overwhelmed with school and consistently turn down plans. I have resorted to trying to find friends on a dating app. I got a bunch of matches and this weekend I had plans to meet with two different people. One cancelled due to covid, so that's ok. The other I asked do you still want to hang out tomorrow and she hasn't responded at all.

I am feeling really frustrated and resentful because I am putting in so much effort to connect with people and not be lonely but people keep letting me down and it's really not helping my trust issues and feeling like I can't count on people.

Sorry I think just kind of wanted to rant lol. Don't really want advice just wanted to rant lol

It's understandable to feel frustrated, discouraged and resentful on how things are working out. I just want to commend you though on your efforts. It's a very big step imo to reach out like you're doing and admirabe that you keep on trying too.
