Hey everyone, I'm feeling genuinely upset bc I feel like no matter how hard I try to make friends with people it never really works out long term. Like I just end up getting ghosted and I'm not even sure why. It makes me feel like such a failure because I'm not able to maintain honest friendships. I just wish I had a best friend like everyone else so maybe I wouldn't feel so alone. What do I do?

@WyybiE3 Its funny you mention it. For the most part I'm pretty okay with being alone. I've been trying to use being alone as an excuse to better myself. Like pick up a hobby and exercise that kinda thing yk? But when I get lonely it hits so hard and it makes me kinda envious of my boyfriend bc even he has a few friends even if he doesn't really want them. Im also a sahw so I can't leave the house and make any work friends. Idk it just feels so complicated

feel this. best suggestion is to find a way to enjoy being alone for awhile. special people have always walked into your life by chance, not bc you were looking for them

I too have experienced this. I have learned it extends from my deep abandonment issues and attachment style. These developed in my childhood. I belive if you can think about how these feeling came about and why you can begin address the deeper issue and progress. I had completely lost my self and had in order to find true self. You are not alone.

I think that for me, having both anxiety and depression doesn’t seem to help maintain healthy friendships. I have support from my family but lacking in that area. Sorry I don’t have ways to get or maintain friends but wanted to let you know that you’re not alone.
Me to I feel every time I make friends I feel more alone because I can only think that they are going to leave me one day so I’m afraid that I’m never going to be able to have friends
me too i was just thinking about this. after me n my ex bestfriend met, we were inseparable. fast forward a year later and she blocks me just like that i’m ghosted forever. i honestly don’t know what we can do about this and i’ve done some research and some say that it’s sometimes due to underlying mental illness causing our relationships to not work out long term. but stability has never been a staple in my life so i really don’t have a clue. feels hopeless and worthless
