Feeling Alone: Struggling to Find Close Friends

I'm a loner, been this way my entire life, I associate with many but don't consider them my friends, I do have friends but very very few that I actually call them true friends

I feel lonely often. And I’m 30

I completely understand, I don't have anyone close either. 💕

I guess the only real close friend I have is my husband. I can talk to him about everything. All you need is one person that you trust. Start with small stuff & see how they react. Then work up to bigger stuff. Baby steps... make sure you are actively listening to them as well. It sounds like you are already doing this.

I'm here to talk and see if we would be good friends

yeah, im the same way. i would try to get to the root of why you don't want to share your feelings with others. did you try to and something bad happened? did something make you feel like expressing feelings is weak? do you not know which emotions to trust? do you not know exactly what you feel? do you feel like you're the only one who has these emotions?

I’ve felt like this since I was a a teenager. It’s really lonely
