Always cornered by "friends"

I have 3 friends and lately they are cornering me for no reason.

This has happened everytime and I end up having no friends at all. I am an introvert and takes forever to make friends and they always turn up this way. Feels terrible. Even when they are around I feel lonely.

On the days I want to celebrate or cry I have no one around me.

@Ginger12

Upsets me to hear it so much .

I am sorry you feel alone even when you have so called friends around you and it is very sad to know how they corner you .

Some good questions to ask this time to yourself -

are they really my friends if they treat me like this ?

Do I have problem making new friends or Do people around me suck and make it harder ?

Do you think you want to confront your friends and tell them how their actions hurt you ? It is good to communicate specially in friendships where you're feeling lonely and cornered , it is not worth staying friends with such people who cause you only hurt , better stay on your own then to stay with someone and still feel alone

They are really not worth thinking so much for if they treat you badly .

I know how hard it is to make friends, but you can try, how do you feel about talking to some one you know and would want to be friends with ? Start easy , get to know them , share likes and dislikes , bond over some common things, it will take time , but you will be happy once you realise you do deserve some good and trustworthy friends also . 😊

@Optimisticempath Thank you! Your reply actually made me feel like there are people out there who will understand me better.

I try to avoid them as much as possible. But right when I start avoiding them, they start complaining that I don't want to talk to them, and I don't share anything with them. And when I actually make efforts to share, they don't seem to be interested and no one bothers. This cycle just repeats.

@Ginger12 I can really understand that , there's definitely some amazing people out there , most that we aren't even aware of yet . So very okay to keep the hope and door for new people and healthy relationships always open . ❤

That's really terrible, I've been in such a cycle before it's like you don't know what's right anymore and just stay there feeling stuck .

I can see how this must be impacting you negatively as well, good that you try to avoid these people as much as you can, strong and healthy boundaries are really great and helpful in keeping ourselves restricted to such people .

How do you feel you can try and come out of this cycle ? And what can be some ways you can enforce some boundaries? 😊
