Older women, please tell me it gets better

I'm just having one of those days where I feel super unwanted. I moved cities about a year ago and have felt kinda lonely since then. I've made some work friends and have other friends outside of work I can count on, but between the long commute and occasional bouts of shyness and being surrounded by a more awkward crowd (I work in a university known for its awkward student population), I just don't feel that hot anymore. Like I'm just used up. I'm 24 and keep finding guys that just seem to want to mess around for a couple months and then bail. I just feel used and like my heart is all rung out. I know I'm lucky to have a good job and I've been focusing on important things like going to grad school and reading, but I just feel extra lonely tn. Anyone been there? Gimme hope, my older ladies!<3
