I've been feeling really lonely lately. I used to have a lot of friends and I would always be surrounded by people but now I feel like everyone has moved on with their lives except me. I try to stay busy by working out and going to the gym but it doesn't fill the void inside me. Sometimes I just wish someone would take notice of me, you know? I've been having these feelings for a while now and it's really starting to get to me.

I love being around other people even if they're strangers because it makes me feel like I belong somewhere. When I'm with others I can forget about my problems for a little bit but when I'm alone it all comes rushing back. It's hard for me to make friends because I'm always the one initiating conversations and trying to get everyone to talk about themselves, but sometimes people just don't want to hear what I have to say.

I've been thinking about going on some of these dating apps you see around because maybe that would be a good way to meet new people. Do you think it's silly for someone my age (30) to still be on those sites? Shouldn't I be looking elsewhere by now? Maybe online is the place where I can find someone who understands me or at least doesn't judge me. Have any thoughts on this?

I'm hoping you're doing okay, and I don't mind sharing some of my stories with you. I know you might not care but it's nice
