How leaving school after 11th grade for someone you loved feels…

18M

I left the school I had once dreamed about actually enjoying with my friends. I never imagined that I'd have to leave it all behind , the people who had become family to me, the memories, everything.

A breakup hit me pretty hard too, and losing both my relationship and the whole friend group around the same time honestly messed me up more than I expecte , I basically disappeared from everyone's life and spent almost two years at home, studying and trying to figure myself out ,the weirdest part is that since then, I barely got to talk to any girls at all 😭 So I genuinely don't even know how to socialize like I used to anymore.

But I'm slowly building my life back now. I'm doing college online, I coach part-time, and I've started becoming independent enough to buy things for myself even got my own bike with money I earned myself pretty good achievement i would say

I guess I'm at a point where I don't want to keep living in the past, I just want to meet some genuine people, have conversations, make new friends and see where life goes.

If anyone actually wants to talk, I'm always down :)
