I’ve recently relocated to a new city (from Auckland to Wellington). I’ve been here three months and I love it here it’s great. The only thing is that I’ve had to leave my friends behind. A group of weirdos that have stuck around me for years, who are the closest thing I have to family. I’ve met lots of great people in Wellington, but I feel like they’re not my friends .... like the ones in Auckland. There isn’t the same effortless connection, the silences are awkward, the talk is small. I’m scared that I’m not going to be able to make the same connections that took me years to build with my friends in Auckland. I’m lonely, so so so lonely, and I feel isolated. I feel like I’m thinking in black and white... any advice, coping mechanism are welcome x
