Making friends is hard for me
Hi.. Im not outgoing,feel sad often,and just isolate myself at times and have a hard time trusting people..idk. I was also bullied my whole life in school..even as an adult. On an occasion or two. All my friends are online..have no in person friends. Live in the US with family.But,from another country.
Hi. I agree with you in many aspects. I don’t really have any friends in person or online. Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? Just wanted you to let that you are not alone in this
@reservedcranberry8917well, it's the same here. You're not alone. I don't have friends - when I was young or now, as an adult. I can't explain why we can't make meaningful friends. I hope we can be friends, even if it's online.
I completely understand. I moved from a small town to the big city in London. I find that the only way I can try to make friends is through work but I feel these are quite superficial friendships as colleagues can sometimes view you as competition so you're never really sure if they're genuine. I feel I need to push myself more to go out there and talk to people. I'm generally a shy and anxious person so this doesn't always come naturally to me to do that. Of course, covid hasn't helped as there are very few social settings you can go to. Take small steps if you can. Push yourself to talk to a stranger. If you have a hobby try to find others who are also interested in the same things as you.
