Currently living in NYC with two of my good friends from university - both of which will likely be moving out of the city when our lease is up next August (we resigned a few months ago). Not sure why, but this made me feel a bit weird and lost, almost maybe like the training wheels are about to come off and I won’t have my close friends anymore, and that I should also be figuring something out. Anyone else experience/experiencing this? Surely the answer is yes, and if so, what did you do?

NYC is one of the most lively, populated, opportunity-filled cities on the planet. There is an innumerable amount of places to meet people and make friends, let alone have a solid career. Losing the training wheels is scary for sure, but ask yourself, do you want to keep riding the bike?

female here...I feel like quarantine is driving me crazy and I’m looking for a distraction.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work.

Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
