Losing friends
As I am getting older (turning 27yrs old), I'm starting to realize that my friend group has significantly diminished. COVID caused a lot of isolation over the two years, and as time went on the space grew between me and the people who I thought I was close with. Sometimes when I see them or try to talk to them via message I just feel alienated because of how loss in touch I am with them and how different we've become as individuals. Unfortunately we don't talk anymore (they don't even try and attempt small talk either). I know that it is a part of life. They say people come and go... but sometimes I feel hurt and bummed out about it. These people who I thought were going to be my friends to the very end have moved on with their lives, are getting engaged, buying houses, hitting milestones in their lives etc. and while that is great and I am truly happy for them, its just that deep down I am sad because I thought I'd be a part of their lives during these big moments.
Besides my family, I don't feel like I have a big community to lean on anymore and I feel a little bit lost. I'm envious of people who have a tight knit of close friends who hang out because I yearn for that myself. And while I do try to get along with everyone, personally, I just find it hard to find true good genuine friends that click with me if that makes sense.
Any advice how to overcome this loneliness?

Look for single groups in your area and join to get notifications on what get togethers are planned like for example a hike or day at the beach and go for things you like to do. Or go about this the other way, picking out things you like to do, then looking for any groups of people who meet who like to do the same. This works great for many things, like Kite fliers, those who fly drones, hiking clubs and so on. If there are not enough women to meet in one group and you want to find a date partner as well, just keep trying new groups. These you will find on line.
