Space for @JustWantingToMakeFriends and Berry

Hi Berry! I’m doing alright, what about you?:)

@JustWantingToMakeFriends Hi Ray, how have you been lately? :)

@JustWantingToMakeFriends You're so right about everything you said about depression, I couldn't agree more. Are you dealing with depression too? 🤍

Haha, you're right it's hard to not get along with my parents and have to deal with them every day... Oh, and school, it's certainly not easy being in there for so much time every day when we have so much going on and it's hard to focus. How do you find school? :)

It's so lovely to hear that you have some close friends. I understand that talking isn't easy when it makes you anxious. Sharing hard things you're going though can be even tougher. Spending time with them can be hard when you feel anxious talking to them, I understand, Ray. 

But the fact that one of your friends is very easy to talk to is amazing. Even if they haven't experienced many of the things you're struggling with, they might still be able to be a supportive friend for you. I'm not sure if I understand what you meant by 'they are amazing at listing', but I'm guessing you meant to say they're amazing at listening?

I see you have a nice friend though you're anxious around them, but who could help if you're able to talk to them. I know it's hard to approach people, especially if you feel anxious around them. I really feel you, the first step is usually the hardest. Do you think you might be able to try spending just a little time with them or talking maybe to them on the phone or something if that's easier?

I'm sorry to hear that one of your friends is struggling with their own things. How do you feel about asking them if they want to share since you're not sure about that? Maybe if they're willing to share, it could give you something to talk about and support each other about. I understand if that's hard to do because of anxiety though.

By the way, I'm sorry if I'm not helping, I don't really have experience with close friendships in real life, so I'm speaking based on the best of 7 Cups friendships I've had. Also, remember that Cups is here for you too, and so am I, I'm always here for you whenever you'd like to share anything or talk about anything. 🤍

I tried making online friends many times. But it always ended in them giving me up. 
It happened again this time, and it was my longest friendship ever. We promised to be there for each other in the entire life. But I feel like she, just like my previous friends, is trying to get a distance and eventually give up on me. 
DO I DESERVE TO BE LOVED??

@JustWantingToMakeFriends Hey Ray, how are things going? I'm here if there's anything you want to talk about. 💜

@JustWantingToMakeFriends Hi there, I just wanted to drop by and ask how you're doing. It's been some time since I last saw you. Know that I'm here if you wanna talk. 💙
