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.

  • Somewhere in the comments, you write that you don't know how to be sociable. To me, this makes perfect sense. I have no intention of being sociable either. There is no drive in me to act sociable. However, there is a huge drive in me to connect with people. Authentic, honest and deep connections. As one of my friends once said: "It always gets psychological with you". I do not care much for superficial chitter-chatter for the purpose of being accepted in a group. However, this has often meant that I would eventually be filtered out in various social contexts. If people are not ready to reflect on who they really are, I know I will be intense to be around. But this is also what my friends appreciate. And it allows be to have fulfilling social interaction with someone I just met - as long as we connect.
