Friends

So this is difficult for me to talk about. I have only ever had a few friends. However, now they have all moved on and have told me that they don't want to know me anymore because they feel I will stop them from having a good life. I don't know what to do anymore. It's just one bad thing after another.

  • Hey Katrina!

    I am not too sure how old you are, however, something I have learnt is, it is more important to have a few 'real' friends, as opposed to many. Also, I discovered that as I got older (late teens/early adulthood), I found it easier to make new friends because everyone had matured and discovered their 'special interests' and hobbies. If people choose to no longer be your friends, they are not worth your time, energy and company - it is their loss! I know it can be difficult, but one day, you will find a friend/group of friends which you just click with. Hope this helps, keep your head up Slight smile

  • I am 20 and live in a village so it's hard to meet new people- most people near me my age bullied me at one point or another. I hear what you're saying though.

  • Okay I understand, it can be difficult to make friends/meet new people, especially during lockdown, etc. However, maybe talk to people through this and find people who have common interests. Also, there is nothing wrong with enjoying your own company, there is no rush to make lots of friends, spend time doing stuff you enjoy. Focus on yourself too, and in time, people will find you - you attract the same energy you give out (not sure if you will understand this). I am more than happy to talk, be online friends, if you would like Slight smilex
