*hugs* I know that feeling so well. I connected to some people from SI but most of the ones I like hanging out with have moved away or are busy. So its tricky. I'm here if you just want to talk, no pressure to RP or a phone call as I could do with more random socializing too.
Today I decided to have social dancing be my exercise thing for the semester and I think that will be good for me and there are plans for a gaming group. Its weird to not have school, still have a part time but not a full time. So I have time to fill but not in a way I'm used to.
In between times are always so complicated especially after being someplace else for a while. I felt the times after I came back from New Zealand a lot, it changed for the later years but it was never simple.
Change is difficult. Adjustments take time. Also, it sounds like you do know what's going on with yourself but don't much care for it. That'll take time too.
First of all, I think there's nothing wrong with that Facebook status thing. If you want to strip away the "I'm lonely" part, maybe something like "Feels like I haven't seen any of you in ages! Anyone want to hang out? (Yes, you!)" I mean, it's totally up to you what you want to say and where and all that, but I wouldn't be at all bothered to hear that from one of my friends. :)
Or, if you're okay with a small group, I find inviting a handful of people to something useful when I'm feeling introverted but want to socialize, because then I don't have to carry the burden of half the conversation. I can fade into the background more while other people talk, or I can chat some and then let other people take more control of the conversation when my talking falters.
Or none of this might apply to you! In any case, I sympathize. Readjustment is always hard, and stagnation -- even when it's also readjustment and recuperation and leisure time -- is hard too. Here's hoping things level out soon for you. <3
