I'm a male student nurse, and over the last 2 years of doing this course, I haven't been able to keep friends for more than a few months. I have to work a lot on placements, for many days in the week, as well as the usual university studying, essays and exams to work for.
I have had friends on other courses (as a lot of people on my course have dropped out and are either cliquey or just not sociable or are quite a bit older than me and we're acquaintances but we'd never do anything outside of uni), and I have had a lot of fun with these people, but they always drop me after a few months and I have to attempt to find new people, and the cycle continues. The reason is either because I'm not available some of the time because of work and they get fed-up with that, or they tell me I have enough going on with my degree and work to worry about maintaining friendships and relationships with them, and going out and doing things, and they end the friendship because they think they are putting me first.
This has now left me virtually friendless and I have no idea what to do now. I don't know where I'm supposed to meet new people, as the societies at university are either sports-focused (which I have no interest in) or non-existent, there are no meetups or groups in my city that would be appropriate for my age and interests, and all the clubs and bars are just too bitchy and scene-y for words. I have made friends before from bars, clubs and gay phone apps, but it's now always just the same people over and over again in these places, who either have no interest in me or did have but no longer want to be friends. What can I do? Thank you.
Put the internet to work for you.
