    Yeah it's normal if you only communicate with your boyfriend

    Staying at home alone all day can be tough - I totally understand that

    What if you got a job ?

    Well, it's a little unlikely potential friends are just going to start lining up at your door in a random manner, is it?

    Some people are content with the sort of life you describe. They have an active and varied life going on in their heads, and that's enough for them. They just don't need much external stimulation.

    If you're not happy with your life and you're feeling lonely, then obviously it's up to you to do something about that. Turn off your computer, give your cat a goodbye kiss and go do something in the real world for two hours. Go for a walk in the park and share a few words with some elderly person who looks lonely (and not too weird). Look into pottery classes. Go swimming and make it a point to say a least a few words to random people who look friendly.

    It's difficult to make that sort of change, but you don't have to go out tomorrow morning and make a life-long close friend before lunch. Unless you live in some really toxic place, the vast majority of people are relatively decent human beings, and they're open to at least a little casual social interaction with a stranger. There's no guarantee that you'll find a soul-mate if you make it a habit to say a few words to strangers every day, but it's certain you're not going to make any new friends if you sit at home feeling lonely.
