a0009 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I moved to a new city to live with my uncle and his wife last year and soon i got two jobs which are night shifts. with the jobs, i do work everynight for 8hrs. I do that because I am trying to pay school loans and save money? for grad school. I am an introvert and lonely most of the time. Recently my cousin told me that the relatives were criticising me for not having friends. I feel the pressure of making friends but my focus has been on the job and education, i am comfortable now the way my life is at this moment. i will appreciate help or critics on this situation Link to post Share on other sites
learning to breathe Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 hi a0009, i think you are doing REALLY well for yourself and you should start with that. Congrats on you working for you. Dont listen to what your family is saying. you just moved. give yourself sometime. things will work out. you sound like a really nice person, hard working at that. keep your head up, if someone comes along and they want to be your friend thats cool and if not its not a big deal is it? dont give up.

preraph Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't know what business it is of your family when and how you make friends. Never mind them. They're just looking for something to be critical, and shame on them. You have done very well, moving to a new city, finding a job and working and holding your own. They're jealous. Don't let them make you feel like you're doing anything wrong. Moving to a new town will be lonely for awhile. That's normal. Do get out and do things whenever you can. Doesn't need to be at night. Go to a restaurant, to a casino, anything to mingle with people, sporting event, concert. It just takes time to make friends. You're not lagging behind in any way. You're doing great. Relatives need to zip it. Link to post Share on other sites
