I can only say it because I do the same thing to myself. It's not until I see it in someone else that I realize, 'hey, that's not fair, you (I) work hard, you're (I'm) not a terrible person, give your(my)self a break!'
One other thing, don't think you're going to meet people only by trying to meet people. Just by taking time for yourself you are creating opportunities to make friends.
