It may be hard, but try and start focusing more time on yourself. Doing things you like and make you happy. By doing this you will learn how to love yourself and realize that you really are the only person you need. You'll hopefully realize that you deserve the best, which will help you know who in your life is worth having a relationship/friendship with or not. And if there not genuine people, who needs them anyways!

I have been struggling with this personally recently and it really can be very painful. Especially since I am in my 20's and thats the age where all your old friends seems to vanish. This has been happening to me a great deal recently and I was confronted with the challenge of being OK with not having a partner or a bunch of great friends. Obviously it hurt a little because I am young and crave that socialization, and when it's not happening it can literally feel worse then physical pain. So to cope with this, I found that embracing the loneliness and accepting it for the moment helps a lot. Also positive thoughts and energy really will change your circumstance greatly. Appreciating the smallest things like the beautiful lake and trees can really change your perception. But the theme of coping with this is that you believe deep down in your heart that those great genuine friends and relationships are coming and will happen eventually! Stay hopeful and full of positive energy and visualize it in your mind vividly and it will come!!!

You can cope up with that by starting to depend on yourself. Trust and love yourself. Having friends or any other people is just an illusion of having someone. At the end, you are still alone. These relationships just create an illusion in our minds that we aren't alone but in reality we are. Learn to be comfortable in your company and remember to give love to all those who have even hurt you. It's about giving, you will only have a problem when you want something in return. But of course, you should remember that there are certain boundaries and you will find people who will not be open to what you have to offer, that's when you should stop.

For me, this phase is a call out to the best self of me. Sometimes we need to know ourselves, and to understand that we don't need people to approve and appreciate our value and importance. We get real relations when we are happy with us, compassionate as well as motivating to us. When we keep on our way of life and stay joyuous, good people start coming in that way. Good luck!

Being lonely seems really scary and terrible, but it isn't always that bad. Take some time to focus on yourself; go to the gym, take long walks, do new things. You'll find friends and relationships will grow along the way!

the best friend that you can have is yourself. Work on your emotions, feelings and think about what makes you happy. people love people who are positive thinkers and who smile. it brings in friendship. Thinking "why not me?" compared to "why me?" brings a positive attitude. Take charge of your life, and take the initiative of being a leader.

Sometimes all we see is social media. Many of us feel very lonely a most of the time, which means we are not lonely at all, we are just getting the same feeling as so many of us. Looking for deep connection is hard even in this era, yet there's still hope because we have internet, that someday, somehow we might connect with someone. There's so many people out there, there must be someone, at least one person in our life we can connect with some day. So while I'm waiting, watching movies and listening to real life stories makes me hope.

I remind myself that it probably just means that I have yet to come across someone who is actually genuine and that I'm bound to at some point.

Try to make new friends. Get yourself out there. The greatest friendships sometimes come from a feud.
