WIBTA If I told my friend I don't want to hear about his social life for a while?

Basically I'm super lonely and have been for like 5 years now. I've been to therapy for things like social anxiety and depression, tried doing clubs, did college, tried initiating hangouts with people and initiating conversation and it just has never worked out for me. I work with a bunch of 40year olds in a warehouse. I'm honestly really struggling.

I do have my best friend from high school but he lives 3 hours away from me. His social experience has been the exact opposite of mine. Made friends in college, is a waitor so restaurant ppl buddy up easy. And hes always telling me about all the fun stuff hes doi g and thi gs hes hanging out with his friends.

While I was living in our hometown after HS I was completely alone. Ive moved away and living in college town. Hes moved back and has run into and reconnected with several HS buddies within a couple months.

It eats me alive inside to hear him tell me about his social activities when im on the phone with him while im just absolutely suffering in solitude and every time I try it doesnt work out. Would i be an asshole if I said "hey man im really lonely and I dont want to hear about your social fun life for a while. I love you, its nothing against you. It just hurts me a lot to hear."

Is that crazy? I also have no idea how to bring it up or how to move on from that bummer ass topic in a phone call or while gaming
