Craving Friends
This might sound weird, but am I the only one that's had dreams or thoughts about past friends sometimes? When I graduated high school, I didn't keep up with too many people but at times I wish that I did just to have someone to talk to.
I feel this way about my ex girlfriend at times too. Dreams and all, but I know that it might just come off as weird and strange. Its been years and some days I still think about her from time to time, even though I'm sure she's forgotten all about me by now. I just feel kind of stupid?
I think a part of me just misses having friends that would relate their problems and such to me; since I liked helping them and in part listening to them too. The other part is that I really do feel like I'm just lonelier these days then I used to be.
@UnsungTangerine I'm sure your old friends and ex girlfriend think about you too sometimes. I've never had a chance to make friends, so I'm not sure how hard it is for you. But it's definitely not stupid. It might not be the same, but thank God for 7 cups. It feels like we are more than just friends here, more like a family community. I hope you find comfort on here too ❤❤gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤
@UnsungTangerine i dont think its stupid or weird actually...since i can relate as well ! I had a bunch of friends whom i used to play with, when i was really young, and i have no contact with them but still i dream of the houses there, and how we all have grown up together. it feels very realistic so when i wake up im very confused! i think it must be normal. Anyway, the community here is always ready to make you feel un-alone (not a word lol) and appreciated! :) And im also sure there must be people from past who miss you every now and then. but they might hesitate to reach out. so dont feel like youre alone out there buddy :)).
I'm not a huge fan of *** or social media, but I have found it to be really helpful in reconnecting with people I knew long ago. I moved around a lot during my childhood, and want able to stay in touch with many people I met along the way. *** has allowed me to find them and discover that they thought of me and valued me. *** can be a toxic place, so tread with care.
And, I agree that 7 cups is a really positive place to find support and friendship. And maybe help connecting with new friends.
Hello Unsung I think all of my dreams are strange and weird. I don't think you're post and observation is stupid though. I find myself thinking of times past also. The last part of your post really struck me. You wrote about helping and listening. For me your post was very helpful because I could relate and if you are reading this, I consider that a big help by listening. My thoughts are with you. Danny
@UnsungTangerine
It's normal to think about past friends and relationships, even if it's been years. Feeling lonely is common, and reaching out to old friends or making new connections can help. Your emotions are valid, and it's okay to seek meaningful connections.
@UnsungTangerine you're definitely not weird and I sympathize with you on this because I've struggled with the same problem. If you need someone to talk to you I'm an active listener and I'm always available.
