It would be a pleasure if you share your experiences—whether it’s something that made you feel valued or something that ended up being toxic. Your story might help someone else recognize what’s healthy or not in their own relationships!

How did y'all Manage to get out of this loop and have authentic friendships that last??

...See more Hello, I'm new here and just want to vent and seek some advice because I feel a bit lost. I find it easy to make friendships, but I struggle to maintain them. I genuinely try my best to show my interests and my extroverted side, but many people perceive me as "weird," "embarrassing," or even "sarcastic." I have a sarcastic sense of humor, but I truly don’t mean any harm and never make fun of anyone’s height, weight, or traumas—it's just light-hearted teasing. Unfortunately, it often seems like people take it the wrong way. When I try to be quiet, I feel left out and ignored, and it seems like others don’t want to converse with me, which makes me feel boring and plain. I have a lot to say about my interests, which include watching documentaries, studying human behavior, and learning new hobbies like crocheting. Despite my efforts to connect with others, I constantly feel like I'm never enough—never funny enough, never relatable enough, and it frustrates me. I feel like I can't have genuine friendships and I have to always be the one who puts in the work and if I don't then the other person talk to me. Does anyone else feel this way? How we're u able to get out of this loop and how did u meet your new friends?
