I'll jump right into it. I moved from a smaller city in NY half way across the country to chicago for a new job and know absolutely know one here.
Before I was a very out going guy, had some real close friends, would go out when I needed to and have fun.
I'v been in Chicago for probably 2 months now and am really starting to miss the close relationships I had back east, being able to confide and just idk, hang out with socially.
I see that Im becoming a little awkward socially and it bothers the shit out of me. All I do now is work, like 10 hours a day when I only need to work 8. I actually stay at work late on purpose just so I dont have to go home and do nothing but stare at my four walls. I voluntarily am coming in every Saturday for weeks now lol
I'v gone out every weekend alone but its just odd not having a wing man or group to walk into a place with... iv become that guy drinking alone at the bar... weird feeling bros. I never had trouble making friends but realize now that that probably mostly had to do with college and the introduction of people via mutual friends. I did not realize how much of a struggle moving to a huge city and legit knowing 0 people within 5 hours of driving could be.
IDK just wanted to ramble for a little bit, see if any of you guys have had similar experiences. I guess iv become a little depressed and anxious and have noticed a real turn down in my intensity in the things I used to go full bore in, including my training.
