Struggling to Make Friends Despite Overcoming Social Anxiety

Man do I feel this and if/when I finally do make sole friends. It doesn't seem to last before I do soemthing to mess it up 🤷‍♀️ and it is usually doing something I don't understand is causing distress but by the time the distress is discovered it is because the person/people are at a breaking point with whatever it is so instead of catching it earlier and being able to be careful... the damage is done. I genuinely try to be a good person but I recently came to realize that I have had too many narcissistic friends and exs that made it worse by trianing me and conditioning me to be toxically unhealthy codependent that only a narcissistic would love (currently divorcing from such a man of 7 and half years together) and am currently in therapy to unlearn that. Sorry for the word vomit rant that unleashed 😅🤣

i struggle with this a lot too, i’ve had anxiety for quite a while and as i got older i never learned to cope with it or overcome it so now it’s extremely difficult for me to make friends and interact with people

What state I’ll be friends😌

I have the same problem. I recently started using an app for neurodivergents called Hiki, and have made a friend on there.

Unfortunately you gotta find the other nuerodivergent people in my experience, once you get your group of weirdos together it’s amazing. I don’t think I have a single friend who’s nuerotypical, which I didn’t do on purpose but we all just click together

Yeah me too, I feel like I’m trying so hard to unmask and feel like I can have friends but no one sticks around.
