Work...Work...Oh, more work!!!

Hannah, you need time girl. Go into town, and just walk around to find different shops, before you know it, you'll be used to it. While you there, go sit down somewhere to have something to drink.
Is there a doggie park somewhere around there where you can take your fur kid to for a play, that's one way of meeting people, i find people walking dogs are talkative.
I have moved around a LOT with my husband, due to his job, like Highlans, in those days there was no internet. The library, and coffee shops is a good idea

Sorry you're feeling lonely and lost Hannah. All the others have offered good advice. Are you planning on working? Why not find something part-time at least just to get out and meet people.

I did tell my niece once (she is very shy) to look around at all the people around her. Some of them are very lonely too. So I told her to go up to someone that may be feeling like she does and start a conversation. After a couple of weeks, she did that and now has a new best friend. It's hard sometimes, but well worth it.

I do that sometimes when I go out for lunch by myself. If I see an elderly person sitting, eating alone, I ask if they would like to join. My pretense is that I don't like to eat alone. It's really nice to help someone, plus I learn so much.

Keep your chin up Hannah and realize that in time things will smooth out some.

Maybe you can find a place locally to do some volunteer work? Or...bury yourself into hobbies new and old?? Or....write down in a notebook some goals you'd like to achieve and go after some of them??

I am sure as time goes on you will find yourself meeting new people and getting to know your surroundings.
