Am I incapable of making real friendships?

Sammy9804 October 27th, 2020

For my whole life I've moved every 2-5 years. I feel like I am incapable of making and building real friendships. I don't know if it's engrained in my head that everyone is temporary because I'm just going to move again soon? Or if it's because I think people don't like me when they meet me? Part of me knows that's not true but there's something deep inside that tells me to let people be because I'll be a bother if I reach out. I am a fantastic aquaintance.. I just moved to a new place 5 months ago and still don't have friends. And funny enough, I plan to leave in April to move across the country and live there for hopefully the longest amount of time I've ever lived in one place in my life. I just don't know what to do to try to make friends in a pandemic.. restaurants are super expensive around here, it's cold and it's dark by 5:30. even if there were things to do I still feel like I wouldn't be able to make friends. I feel like there's a problem with me, I feel like there's something wrong with me that makes it so people can't relate to me. I feel lonely at work, my 3 friends are all in different states or countries.. I mean I'm writing this all out here instead of talking to someone who could be a friend so maybe that's problem number 1...
