Feeling so lonely

Need to talk...

My girlfriend and I broke up recently and I moved to a new area. I’m in NJ and I know no one and struggling to make friends. I tried some online dating shit just to make some friends and connections and it’s going nowhere. I feel like i’ve completely forgotten how to be normal. It feels like no one wants to be my friend. I invite people to do shit and I stay connected to all my old friends calling them and making attempts to reach out but it feels so one-sided. I’m 20 and the only thing around here to do is drink and go out to bars. I’m so busy at work that I only get one full day off a week and i’m so exhausted that I normally spend it alone in my room or driving around just to get out the house. I spent the other weekend going up to nyc to hang with some friends but when I get back i go right back to this loneliness. I don’t know how to meet people and build a friend group. I don’t know if there’s even a point in trying to make connections because i’ll be moving again in the next few months. I don’t want to be miserable here but I don’t know what to do. I just want someone to talk to
