not sure how to find my people
so i, 21f definitely have friends. i have my best best friend who is like a sister to me, then a few other friends i would consider my close girlfriends who i talk to a see somewhat regularly depending on busy schedules, and then my acquaintances. seems normal, but i feel so alone and disconnected from everyone.
i’ve recently realized i have absolutely nothing in common with most of my friends. my boyfriend and i DO have a lot in common, and i realized the reason i love spending time with him but not my friends isn’t because i’m one of those girls who puts her bf over her friends, but simply because him and i have shared interests and my friends and i don’t.
i love going to the gym, eating healthy, wwe, anime, a good smoke sesh, a movie night, spending time in nature etc. a lot of simple pleasures that i guess you could say are more lowkey. all my friends even my best friend just want to drink and go out to dinner every two seconds. i find myself counting down the minutes till i can go home everytime and it makes me feel so guilty. because of this i’ve definitely backed away from a lot of people and now i’m left with work, gym, boyfriend, home, repeat over and over again.
i guess my question is for anyone who is more introverted or just has similar interests/experiences what advice do you have?
