You want your friends and partners to know what matters most to you so that they can help you deal with things with confidence.
There are many ways to have conversation with your non-coupled friends, from reading the same books they’re into, doing the same things, or just meeting up outside of “the way we hang out”.

How to make friends
Friends are hard to make. You have to choose your friends very carefully. There are many factors that make a friend, a friend.
Your friend needs to be interested in you and your life. A good friend will stick by you when times are tough and without question.
They also need to like you enough to spend time with you and others have to know them well enough to trust them enough to tell them what’s happening in your life.
Last, but not least, they have to like yourself enough to want to be friends with you. If someone does not feel like they belong in your group of friends, it is time to look for new friends.
The best way to make new friends is by being honest about yourself, being open about things, and having fun with the people you are surrounding yourself with.
It’s not easy to make friends
There’s a reason people stay close to family and friends while in college. It’s hard to make new friends and it takes time to develop relationships with others, especially when you are not familiar with them.
You need to be comfortable with your reputation, your friends have to feel comfortable enough to ask questions, or they will just assume you are OK and do things on their own. This is more true in small community college than the larger universities where there will be more people coming into contact with each other after being involved in the community for some time.
It is harder when you are away from home because you have to learn how to initiate conversations and what words/phrases you should use when trying to make new friends. You have to learn what questions should be asked, how they should be asked, and how others respond to them.
Ask someone for their number
Even if you don’t feel like talking to someone else, asking someone for their number is a good idea. This will help you in case you need to call them or message them in the future. It’s also a way for them to contact you if they feel like talking to you is necessary.
In case they don’t have a phone or computer, this may help them find someone else to talk to. In case they do have a phone or computer, this may help them find someone who can speak English well and has good moral values.
If you ever need to talk, go out and ask some friends or somebody in your organization to call them up as soon as possible so they can respond quickly.
Ask someone for their number and take care of yourself.
Join a club
If you’re feeling isolated or can’t talk to your friends about what’s going on, consider forming a club or group. There are many ways to connect with other people who are going through the same thing as you are.
A club or group can be a safe space to talk about things without being pressured to join, and others can be joined by message or invitation. They may even offer support and guidance!
Many times people in similar situations find comfort in each other, which is what a club does very well. Plus, having a group of people to talk to about things helps get you back on track after you fall behind with your personal issues.
If you cannot join a group, but still wish you had someone to talk to, consider joining a club! There are many around the country and international so look into it before you need one though.
Be consistent
One of the most difficult things to do well is to find time to get help. You need to be able to find time to work on your craft, meet with a therapist, or even just a good friend to talk it out.
You don’t want to be dependable and take a break when you are feeling overwhelmed and need help. You want people to see your commitment and hard work, not necessarily how much you can help them.
Keep in mind that your ability to get help depends on you. If you are the ones who consistently reach out for help, then others will too!
If you can’t find the time or don’t feel like looking for help, then it is important that you keep going until you do. You have to keep making an effort in order for this time lost effect on you and anyone else who depends on you for support.
Communicate!
Most people-even you!-don’t talk to yourself. You don’t think to yourself, “I’ll talk to myself,” but you don’t talk to yourself.
You don’t mentally speak to yourself, “I understand you are feeling down, but I know you can get through this and make this a fun time with your friends.” You physically do it.
With exercise, you can physically talk to yourself. When you walk or move your body, you physically say, “I know this is hard work, but I want to make sure I give myself the most pleasure during this exercise. Make sure you are being nice and paying attention to your body. If something is not feeling good, stop and/or take a break!”
With exercise, physicality is being used as a form of communication.
Embrace your loneliness
While some people find talking to other people lonely uncomfortable, you can easily embrace your loneliness. There are many ways to socialize, so don’t miss out on opportunities to connect with people close to you.
You may not feel like talking to someone is a solution to the increasing number of people in your life, but it will be more comfortable and more productive to connect with someone else than yourself.
Furthermore, the number of people in your life doesn’t have to be a bad thing. A lot of us grew up thinking that there were only good guys in our lives, and we might have unconsciously chosen the wrong person for ourselves.
But with time, you will realize that you don’t love yourself enough to make changes into a good person, and that you deserve more from your personal growth and change. For example, developing feelings for other people as well as sex with them.
Feelings of loneliness are normal and natural
We all experience feelings of loneliness at times, and for many, this is a normal and natural feeling.
It’s difficult to realize how much time and attention you require until you are alone. You may start to question your decisions, why you’re alone, and what next step you need to move towards success.
This feeling can be hard to deal with as it can feel like your not good enough or not ready to make decisions on your own. It is important that you take a look at yourself and see what steps you are taking towards being happy and successful in life.
Being able to talk to someone about these things can help help bring some relief but firstly you have to recognize that this is a feeling and something that you may be experiencing.
