Today, I noticed that my weekend hobby is crying. I live in a city where I don't have a single friend or relative. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I have no close friends, only "people I know and occasionally talk to." I have no idea how I got here, and how to re-socialize back. FML
Today, I was feeling really down and decided to text a friend to vent to someone about it. Then I realized, I don’t have any friends. FML
Today, I realized the only things I do are work and sleep. My only friends are coworkers who I make small talk with. I live alone so I’ve got nothing there either. I can’t remember the last time I felt happy, or spoke to someone. Everyday is just a blur. I have no hobbies, no goals. Getting older is so fun, right? FML
Today, I realized that my social life is so dead that the only thing I do that involves other people is read FML. I don't even participate in the comments. FML
Today, I've had to accept that, despite my efforts to stay in touch with the few friends I made at college, I have zero friends. FML
Today, while talking with a coworker, we discussed a weekend home invasion scenario. It was then that I realized my social circle is so non-existent, that my job would notice I'm gone before my friends would. FML
Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML
Today, what did I get after a long, tiring week? A long, depressing weekend. FML
Today, I finally got a job so I could stop missing out on going out with my friends every weekend. Turns out I work only Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and there's no way around it. FML
Today, and since I graduated, I've realized how truly lonely I am. I haven't seen my one best friend in almost a year and I only leave the house to go to work. Not to mention I no longer enjoy things I used to love doing, making me even more sad and bored. Social anxiety and depression will do that to you. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you try making friends where you live? Have you run out of friends or relatives to call during the weekend? If you did, psychologists and help lines (phone or chat) can help. Psys are there to listen to you when no one will. Call now!

Don’t stay home and cry! Go out! Go to a pub, coffee shop, or the park. You won’t meet people staying home. Join a class or club. Smile and be friendly to people.

Get a hobby and pursue it. You'll find others pursuing the same hobby, with whom you have an automatic common interest. For instance, I got into Pokemon Go to hang out with my son. I now have friends within the community who I play with. I used to go out and play poker in a local league. It's been years since I played, but I still have some of those friends and acquaintances. Similarly, i dated a guy in a bowling league. He has friends he's made there. So no hobby is off limits, get yourself out there.

When I moved across the country, I used the Meetup app to find activities I like and met people that way. You should try it if you can. Good luck!

You should start a crying meetup. Many people do it without realizing it's a legit hobby.

Try some self love. Go find a hobby or something you enjoy and so it just for you. I know it sounds boring, and it might be at first but then you will start to realize something you like to do when you have alone time.

I moved mikes from home 5 years ago, work reasons. I went to a local coffee and cake morning, I started volunteering there for 3 hours one day a week. I now have local friends of all ages, a fun social life and feel like I’m home.
