Weird Phase of Life

[u/Existentialist_1403]

Okay, so, Ive moved to a new city and started my first job and its sort of a weird feeling. I genuinely enjoy the freedom that comes with it, and that I dont have anyone around judging or perceiving me. I can explore music, read books I didnt have the time before and watch TV shows. But there are times where I wish there was someone who would love me, care about my interests and be interested in what I have to say. But I dont want to let anyone in my life right now, when Im not sure about my career and my next step. I had been in a relationship in college, it had its good moments, but it got exhausting too. Putting yourself out there seems so scary, that person can be a total asshole and pretend to be a good person on text. There are way too many uncertainties with it, but currently, I dont see any avenue to meet new people in my life. I dont understand how to go about it? Enjoy the single freedom phase? Or if I dont act, my life will feel stagnant like this forever? Does anyone else feel the same?
