i,, have no friends. it's not that i'm not a likable person, though thats easy for me to say, but i literally have only one friend. it works because we barely talk but every few weeks we get together and hang out for the whole day and there's never any awkward silences or anything. i have had people who want to be friends with me but dont understand the way that my friendship works..? i guess. i am essentially a recluse, i dont like texting or talking on the phone and i wont call up to make plans, the other person would have to be the one to reach out. even my best friend of ten years, ask her and shes gonna say that i never approach with hangout ideas. i dont know why i do it and i want friends, i want to go out and have fun and be close to people. but maintaining relationships is hard.

You gotta practice putting yourself out there and it gets easier. I used to be the same way. Now rejection means nothing to me. And I have a lot of friends. Or did. Then I moved but I’ve found new friends. But also don’t be down on yourself. More people struggle with this than you expect. Biggest thing for me was building confidence through watching queer eye of all things

I can understand this! My best friend lives far away from me, and she is always the one to initiate FT calls (we never text). We haven’t hung out in 8 years!! I am open to my friends and boyfriend about how I easily get drained of energy and need plenty of time to recharge.
