I’m not much older than you but I eventually learned to enjoy friendships as just a moment in time. It’s nothing personal but people get busy and make new friends or get new responsibilities. I used to message tons of people to keep friendships alive because I felt similarly to you. Once you let go and just treat the people around you with your full attention, you will be happier. I fully understand covid has made that more difficult though. You could try Triva nights, board games, volleyball, events like that to get out there. I found that if you just walk up to people and start a conversation at those they are very likely to be like you and want to make friends.

I hope you feel better soon. Just know many people go through this and just don’t give up, get out there the best you can.
