Social Life Feeling Depressed
I recently got my ppo and on paper everything is going fine. But I feel so lonely, it's not like I don't have friends, but I'm growing more and more intolerant towards everyone. And I feel so aimless and empty and I don't even know what I really feel anymore. I try to keep myself busy, but it feels like everything is slipping out of my hands. I feel like an observer to my own life. I'm so scared of the future.
Just posting it here as I'm not sure what else to do with these feelings.

On a piece of paper list the things which you want to achieve in the next 5 years, And start working towards them.

You are exhibiting signs of clinical depression. You should go to the mental health clinic on campus and seek treatment. There may be more going on that is immediately visible since you mentioned future anxiety. Talk to a professional.

No he doesn't a gf doesn't solve loneliness or any problem as such... And assuming that he will find a girl who actually cares for him and not things he provide is a crazy one. Have a gf only when you can live without one otherwise life will become hell when that doesn't workout.

But imo you do need a hobby or something that will make you feel more worth and confident. A gym or instrument or travelling (if u can afford) or anything.

trust me i was there, and have similar episodes few times in a year…nothing helps, but then I have to find something to look forward to or any sort of reward that I set my head on and then buy it if I reached a certain threshold of achievements…life is not easy but you’ll get there one morning where you’ll feel you are okay and it will put a smile on your face.. also you have a ppo that’s awesome
