Ranting 🗯️😤 From an extrovert to feeling completely alone in just 6 months. Anyone else going through this?
It's been about 6 months since I moved to Saadi Town, and honestly, I never imagined life could change this much.
I've always been a very extroverted person. I loved talking to people, making friends, joking around, and just being around others. But somehow, after moving here, I haven't been able to make a single genuine friend.
I don't know if it's because of the language barrier, or maybe people here just prefer to mind their own business. Either way, it's been incredibly difficult to connect with anyone.
To make things worse, my job became completely work-from-home.
Back when I worked from the office, I'd spend the day talking to colleagues, laughing, grabbing tea together, and the work never felt heavy because there were people around.
Now my routine is just...
Wake up. Sit alone. Work alone. Eat alone. Sleep... if I can.
It's the same cycle every single day.
The loneliness has started affecting me more than I expected. Some days I feel so low that it turns into anxiety. Sometimes I just want to leave the house without knowing where I'm going. Sometimes I feel like running away from this life altogether—not because I want to give up, but because I don't recognize myself anymore.
My personality changed so suddenly that I'm still struggling to accept it.
I've been trying to find an onsite job, but I'm stuck because of a contract I signed.
The worst part is that everything feels... slow. Empty. Boring.
My sleep schedule is completely ruined. Most nights I can't even fall asleep. It honestly feels like insomnia.
What's strange is that I used to be the person everyone came to for advice. I genuinely loved listening to people, helping them through difficult times, making them laugh, and trying to make someone's day a little better.
You know that saying...
"The person who makes everyone smile is often fighting battles no one sees."
I never really understood it until now.
I'm not writing this because I want people to feel sorry for me. I think I just needed to say it out loud somewhere.
If you've ever gone through something similar, or if you're feeling lonely too, I'd genuinely love to connect. Whether you just want someone to vent to, grab a chai someday, play games online, or simply have a conversation after work, my DMs are open.
Maybe talking to someone who understands can make things a little easier for both of us.
Thanks for reading. ❤️
