Title: About 7 years ago I arrived in Canada from Southeast Asia to pursue a degree in Computer Science. I graduated and landed a decent job right after in the US, and have been working here since.<p>I have made many efforts to go out and meet new people, but unfortunately at this age it gets harder and harder to form deep and meaningful connections or friendships. Everyone already has their own childhood friends, family, support group that they have built themselves around their whole lives and grew up with. To them, I am just another &#x27;colleague&#x27; or &#x27;fellow member of X and Y group&#x27;, and I know our friendships will never go past a certain level.<p>I walk past bars and cafes on Friday nights and I see groups of young adults in merry conversation and laughter. They are most probably friends since childhood &#x2F; high school and I know I will never be a part of a group like that, because it is just too hard to break into a clique that already has formed a common connection amongst themselves, and the &#x27;making friends&#x27; phase is over.<p>How do I overcome this sense of loneliness and dismality?
