Ah sameeee, I can start conversations and stuff but it always goes that the other person never want to make a stronger connection and become only once in a blue moon interactions. Somehow that makes me feel even lonelier 🥲

that's totally normal, you are never wrong for thinking that way, just know that even if the first time you say hi to someone isn't what makes you who you are.

i don't know that i agree with that only because the people i connect with are consistent at sharing and talking, first impressions don't phase me, but that's maybe because I'm 6 foot 4 dude with huge gauges and a septum ring. I love all people. Regardless of the first impression. We are all going through something and I'm here for each and every one of you. 🧡

Same I have a very small circle of friends. I recently had to sever one of those really close ties the relationship had been toxic for so long but I always made excuses for her. I am completely heartbroken about it 😞

Mentally ill people could all sit on one room together, and yet still feel so alone and isolated is the crappy thing about this. However we tend to be able to nurse each others wounds and support each other as no one else will. So as we piece others together with glue while we ourselves are still falling apart till someone starts to glue us then someone else glues them etc. Mentally ill people get Mentally ill people. They know the isolation and loneliness that comes with it. But we make the best friends and supporters of our kind. Everybody's issues are different and even if we share similarities we will always have differences too.

Friends really aren’t everything as long as you work on uplifting your vibrations then you’ll be able to attract the people in your life that won’t deceive you or prey on your weaknesses sending love and light 🧘🏽

Same. I wish there was a decent support group close to me where I could meet people who also struggle with some of the same things I do. I would love to have a friend to encourage each other to get out and do things occasionally or maybe start going to a gym with. It's very difficult to find friends when you struggle severely with your mental health.

not sure if this is a reply to my comment, but I’m always really nice to people. I think kindness goes a long way. It’s just with work and helping my partner start a business it’s just been impossible.

I know this is really hard for a lot of people, but I think what helps he most is joining groups that hold your personal interest. Groups that meet up in your area. Social anxiety can especially make this difficult, but once you get to that point it can be easier than one thinks once you make contact with other people.
