Lonely in London and don't know what I want from life

  • Thread Starter

I live in London now and I am so miserable and lonely. I live with 4 other people but they all have their own lives and have really busy social lives whilst I'm always sat at home on my own. I only moved in a month ago and was hoping that we'd maybe all start hanging out together but it hasn't really happened. I feel awkward when I tag along with their friends and they hardly ever invite me anyway.

I don't know where to meet new people. My best friend moved away and now I don't have anyone that I'm close to anymore :(. I used to love going out and stuff but now I just have no one to do it with.

I am about to start a new job. I thought I wanted to go into this area of work, hence why I took the job but now I'm not so sure and on top of that this area is ridiculously competitive and there is no guarantee I will ever be able to do it plus its years and years of training.

Last year I was living abroad and I realise now how good my life was when I was there. The only problem was I was teaching and I don't want to teach in the long run. But there is a massive part of me that just wants to go back there but then lack of opportunities in the long run scares me. However, I have obligations here like the job contract and the lease on my contract is for another year almost.

I'm 23 now, I feel like I need to get my **** together and sort my life out.

How am I supposed to improve my life here? Where exactly do I meet new people... I've looked at those meetup groups but it doesn't really seem to be for people my age. Do I just stick it out and think of the future? I can start this job and then start looking for another one in a different sector...... or do I just give up and go abroad for another year..... the only problem with that is, is that when I come back I'll probably be in the same boat as I am now :(
