I'm having kind of a rough time..
I used to have a lot of friends when I lived in ohio. 2 people I considered my brothers. 5 people I hung with daily, and at least 15 people I saw weekly.
Well 2 years ago, I moved to southwest Oklahoma with a girl I was in love with. (She's military) At first it was fine, I thought I wouldn't have any problem making friends. I'm funny, I'm smart, and I love being around people.
Now, 2 years later, and I don't have any friends. I don't fit in here, people just don't like me. I think I try to hard. Me and the girl got married, and were really happy! But we work conflicting schedules and only see each other twice a week.
I kinda broke down today when I was looking for my spare keys in one of our closets. I opened the closet and saw a poker set I had bought it a year ago because I thought "man, when I get some buddies they're gonna love coming over and playing poker." "I'd better buy it now so I'll have it ready for my future buds."
It's still in the plastic wrapping. I have never opened it.
It just kind of felt like getting kicked in the nuts. Only a few of my friends from back home talk to me, and it's maybe a couple times a month. My wife has friends, but every time we go out they just tell her that I'm weird and awkward.
I only have one true friend left, and that's my dad. He lives in Phoenix,(12 hours away) he talks to me at least a few times a week. And we just got home yesterday from spending the holiday with him and his wife. But we had to leave, and I've been a little upset since.
I'm always alone.

It's been two or three years now, I don't talk to my old friends from my home state. The only people I've really hung out with since are co-workers, which constituted a few nights of heavy drinking and that was it. I switched jobs and don't really talk to old co-workers, just seems a little awkward at that point. People at this new place are a bit too serious for my taste, so I don't talk with them much. All they can talk about is work, so I just stay quiet and do my job. Sometimes, albeit rarely, I feel like it would be nice to have someone to hang out with. But I've always been pretty comfortable with being alone. I stay busy, to be honest I don't want someone to interfere with whatever spare time I have to just relax. Once I leave this job to go back and finish up my degree, I might feel differently. But ever since I moved here, it's just been one damn thing after another eating up all my time, so I've become very defensive of my spare time.
