How to make a friend.
Relationship Stress / by KayLikesTea

...See more When I was younger I lacked identity. I had no real idea of who I was. And on top of that, I was a brilliant actor. A liar even. I was loud, obnoxious, and manipulative. It was pretty ugly, and I regret ever second of it. I was good at copying everyone else's personality so that they would like me. I had many "friends" but I was close to nobody. I had lots of attention, but was still so lonely. I was a fake. An imposter. Years pass, and I have begun to find myself. I am a much different person now. And have become much more wise. But I regret the past because I sabotaged myself, I sabotaged any chance of long lasting friendships. And although many people know I have changed and like me as I am, I still can't quite make real friendships. I'm still lonely. I'm afraid I'll fall back into the imposter I was. Opening up has never been easy. And I can't quite find the right people. I'm not looking for anything to extreme. I just want people I can share quality time with. Go to the park, watch a movie, bake a cake, make art with, share favorite books and food with. I just want friends. And I know that to make friends I need to be a friend back, and I'm giving it my all. I just need someone to give me a chance. Where should I start?
