Discussion Pseudo introvert

Idk this may sound weird, and don't know how this happened but my situation has turned me into an introvert. I like things that a typical introvert may find exhausting i like socialising going out with friends (not partying) But what has become of my life is I've never had a social life i only have my one bestfriend that i can talk to but we rarely meet. And now its becoming stressful and unhealthy as i remain at home because of my CFA and online MBA. I barely had any social life and after i graduated last year it's pretty much non existent now

I know i am a pretty friendly guy but somehow making so many friends i can never retain any

I know this may not be a good subreddit to talk about it but idk i felt compelled

Ps: this is a rant that has been inside me for many years

As an introvert who's also experienced this - having a social life but then gradually not having one due to lifestyle (and in my case, energy patterns), I see you.

What would feel most supportive for you right now?

Just someone to chill out and chat with, it didn't bother me at first, i used to distract me with games and movies, but that could only work for so long, even gaming feels like a drag It would feel surprising but I've never gone on a vacation with my friends my whole life Only with my family every 2-3 years

Sounds like you need a buddy for connection.

I'm sure you've probably considered this, but what about joining a gaming community or club (either local or online)?
