[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! Sorry to hear what you're going through. A lot of what you wrote resonates with me - I'm also East Asian, came to the US when I was a kid, moved around and didn't keep childhood friends, went to an Ivy. I ended up making a lot of friends in grad school (way more close ones than I had in college for whatever reason). Maybe business school would be a good next step for you? You might find a pool of people to date too, which can help with the loneliness.

Just remember, friends (or partners) aren't just going to show up at your door step. All it takes sometimes is for you to make a little effort at striking up a conversation and showing interest in people. Join some groups/activities too. I'm not that outgoing, but I find that being a good listener and asking questions has helped develop close relationships with people even if they're way more talkative or sociable than me.

You'll get through it! I actually felt quite lonely at times in college despite there being a lot of people my age around me. But things got better for me and I haven't felt that "low" since then. Good luck!
