writes:Hi dearcupids, I am 24 yr unemployed, single, postgraduate girl. I had many friends in college and highschool. But all of them are either married and moved to another city, or some of them got a job and moved to another city. I am facing the problem of unemployment. Now the problem is, I have no social life and no friend circle for more than a year. I just feel so lonely. I just fail to understand how to pass the time. I need some engagement. It feels more horrible at the occasions like birthdays, christmas etc. My family treats this problem so negligible. I want some social life, I want to be busy. It is terrible when you are all time alone even at special occasions.

I've been in exactly in the same situation.
Best thing to do is to move to a closeby city if you're not already in one and search for a job that doesn't necessarily match with your educational qualification.It's really not that hard.There are plenty of decent paying jobs looking for any type of graduate.All they require is for you to know how to use a mouse and keyboard.It's also advisable to join NGO that supports a cause that is close to your heart.That way you can meet more people with common interests and hopefully make new friends.

Try spending time in a museum and take your time over a period of several days-one room at a time. See if they offer free or low cost classes or demonstrations. If you like sports or boks there are clubs for that. If you have a place of worship, get involved and if you don't, maybe look for one. Helping out w daycare or the charity and going to events will lead to friendship s naturally

 The best thing to do, if you are all alone is to volunteer. Find something like salvation army or siloam mission in your country. When you see that many people don't have education and have no hope for employment, the experience of feeding them would humble you. It will make you realize that things like a high profile job and a trophy husband can't be taken for granted. Your first job has got to start with something so volunteering can open you up to more opportunities.

I'm 38. Recently single and feel alone too. All of my friends and siblings are in relationships or married with families. I feel alone a lot. But I stay busy. Luckily I have a job which keeps me busy and tired so I sleep a lot during the week. On weekends I make sure to get out of the house both days. Have to leave the house and go outside. Have to. Take a walk. Go to the museum. The park. A little window shopping. Maybe try online dating. I'm thinking of taking a cooking class. You could volunteer at a hospital or youth center. You're guaranteed to meet people there.
Great thing is you're in your twenties. So this should be just a temporary problem. Once you start working you'll definitely meet people.
Take care :)
