I find I am so overwhelmed by getting by at work and by taking care of all the assorted tasks I need to in order to keep functioning that I have literally no energy left to socialize or find people to hang out with. Has the world gotten more chaotic and require more of us to stay afloat or is it just me?

Don’t know how old you are, but I’m in my late 20s.

My social circle grew a lot bigger when I first moved out, tho I lost touch with many high school “friends”. I moved places again in my early 20s and then it kept shrinking - more adult responsibilities, less friends.

I recently moved countries and my circle now consists of a handful of people I’ve been friends with 10-15+ Years, funnily most of these I’ve met online. We’re all part of the same group mostly, everyone with their responsibilities; wives, jobs, etc.

I’d say that’s pretty normal and expected
