Why do I feel so lonely?
I'm a senior, with lots of "friends"

Lately, I've become a bit depressed when I examine my relationships with people. I just don't see a lot of substance there. I'll graduate in a few months, and with 99% of the people I've met in college, I probably won't give a damn about them after we leave campus, and they won't care about me either. I used to try really hard to meet new people and make new friends; now, I don't even want to make the effort because nothing meaningful will come of it. It's always the same conversation, again and again. I feel like I've run out of things to say.

I think I demand too much from people. But I can no longer take these shallow associations that qualify as friendships in college. I no longer want to interact with people because I cringe inside at the meaningless BS we both spew for the sake of conversation. It all seems a pointless exercise to nowhere.

Sometimes, I just want to say "fuck off" to all of my friends and become a hermit. Better to be alone than to delude myself in faked, easily-broken camaraderie.

In some ways, I felt like that when I first got to college. I found that expecting too much out of people was my problem as well. I'm not saying that you should lower your standards to the point that people are walking all over you, but for me, I was a pretty uptight person and just relaxing a bit helped me meet more people and become more friendly with them.

Perhaps it is that you have deep inner issues and make it difficult for you to open up.

Yeah, I just don't relax around people that I don't know. It's just a paranoia that I can't help. lol

Back when I was smoking weed, I actually made awesome friends and we truly cared about each other and everything.  Now things just aren't the same.

The problem is, you meet a lot of fake people in your lifetime. The majority of people we meet and we consider our friends are fake, whether they are aware of it or not. That's why it's good to value the few people that are your real friends, as for the rest, they're just acquaintances. Just got to deal with people like that. I'm pretty conservative myself when I'm around people, and I don't try to judge someone offhand, but I'm pretty accurate (most of time) in figuring out if a person is real or a fake. The fake ones (acquaintances) I hang around just for fun, to do things with when I'm bored without needing to care about each other, while with my real friends (very few) we have real conversations and share about our life issues and so on. It's kind of hard to give advice on this sort of issue, because it's such a broad issue and it's inescapable.
