I find it really hard to make, or rather keep, friends with everything going on with me. I feel like I have to spend so much more time on myself compared to others. I miss out on things and people.

✋You are not alone! You know.... back in the day, women used to get together to encourage each other and take group care of the children! They knitted and sewed, and enjoyed each others company. We don't do that anymore, but we sure need to start back! We need to spend more time together and learn how to put others first. By spending time with others and helping them, we get encouraged and get appreciated which we don't get often enough. When we know that we have the ability to make others smile and feel better, it makes our own emotions lift until we no longer feel useless and lonely. Find someone who needs a friend, and encouragement! You will not regret it! Put others before yourself, and you will reap the positive self love you need. Bless you!
Putting time into yourself is not the issue. The people telling/treating you like its a problem is, the problem. Keep taking care of yourself, the right people will fallow
I feel the same way.

I feel a similar way. There are people in this world that also share that tendency and even others that don't share the tendency but that still see the joys of a friendship where a ton of time is not always given. I have hope that even if you haven't found these people already, that you will and you will create lasting friendships despite your ability to spend a ton of time on the friendship 💕
I’m with you. I’ve been accused of freezing everyone out when really I’m exhausted from just being me. I always want to be at my best with others but that’s not super common. Anyone else?
@Jane_Eyre I completely agree. I'm so rarely at 100%. And some people understand, but others just want more than I can give
I’m so burnt out I can’t even stand people
im sorry you’re struggling friend 😢💔
🙏
I feel the same way 😥
