People keep moving :(

I moved to states 5 years back. Had 2 great years at school during masters with great set of friends. Post graduation, literally everyone moved out. Then I had to work hard to make friends at the new location I moved to. Being more on the introvert side, it was hard and took me an year to form a great set of buds. Now after 3 years at work, I got this new offer and this time I am moving out. Itll again suck to make new friends :( Help!

Welcome to life as an adult.

Adulting is fucking hard bro, don’t feel welcomed

Yeah it sucks, and doesn't get better. I've made and lost tons of friends over the years. When you graduate college, and leave your current opportunity, all those daily friends vanish. That's like a rule. Sorry.

Get a partner. He/she will keep moving with you and will remain available for you always.

Think of it like this. Even if you stay, people around you will move. People die. There's a saying, you can never come home. Even if we had unlimited money, my dad can't visit the place he grew up because it was a housing project that was demo'd decades ago. It's just how life goes

This is life. Friends will not stay at a company or city to be around you. Everyone moves their own paths but feel happy that your paths and their paths crossed at some point in life. Try to stay in touch with those that helped you, call them on the weekend just to say hi. Other times you will have to either make new friends or pursue hobbies to keep yourself busy. If you are looking for something permanent, you can try to find a partner and get into a serious relationship, so even if you move to different cities to pursue something, you know you both will find a way to get back to each other at some point (of course you both have to work towards building such a relationship). Also, I may be miles away but happy to be your friend so feel free to pm.
