How do you (emotionally) keep trying to make friends?

turquoiseHemlock900 September 24th, 2021

I've just felt defeated in recent years. Almost every friend I've had has left and I haven't been really able to make any new friends in the past six years. I'm not sure how to find the energy/motivation/trust to try again.

People come and go that's how life goes.

I can share you some ways i keep friends.

Old-fashioned as it may seem, letter writing sends the message that you care enough about someone to give him or her your undivided attention. That kind of focus is rare in today’s multitasking world. I sent cards or letters to my friends and they appreciate me for that. 🙂

I feel the same way. Just. Alone. Like no one wants to put in the same effort i do. Maybe im just not worth it.

Hey, thanks for sharing. I know how you feel. Making friends is so hard, and the most that ever happens is just small talk, not really friendships that last. But don't lose hope. Let's not let the loneliness overpower us. Please feel free to listen to this song for encouragement also: https://youtu.be/XmTmTMcdxOs. Let's get through this together ✊🏼

Thank you so much for the song recommendation! I used to listen to For King & Country a bit when I was younger, but it's been some years. That song you sent really spoke to me. <3
