Instead of confronting her, I focused on strengthening my own interests and friendships. It helped me realize that true friends will always make space for you, even when their circles grow.

Ara+FollowFinding Strength When You Feel AloneNavigating life without close friends can feel overwhelming, especially when you see others surrounded by support. A few years ago, I found myself in this exact situation after moving to a new city at 25. The loneliness crept in slowly, making even simple things like going out for coffee feel daunting. What helped me cope was focusing on small, meaningful routines—like journaling and taking long walks. I also started joining local groups based on my interests, which eventually led to new connections. It’s okay to feel lonely, but remember that your worth isn’t defined by the number of friends you have.
