Friendships

Does anyone have any advice on making or keeping friends? I’ve lost touch with all my old friends now because I get to scared to meet them. I worry that I won’t know what to say and I don’t really understand how people can just start and have conversations. I only have 2 people who I ever see or talk to, my fiancé and my mum. It really hit home when we were planning our wedding guests and I had zero friends to invite. I read online about going to new places to meet people but even if I could get over the anxiety of doing that I don’t get how to can just go to a shop or somewhere and start talking to someone. I try to pretend that it doesn’t bother me but I do get really lonely sometimes. And I always get jealous when I’m watching tv and it’s about a group of friends because I just think I’ll never have that.

    It is very hard. 

    I have gone back to my old friends. Re-kindled the relationships that we had. Trying to start new friendships has been a total disaster for me.

    I have 6 irl friends and even then it can be a struggle to have enough energy to maintain the relationships with them. I do a lot of WhatsApp as F2F often exhausts me.

    Best wishes on finding the relationships that are right for you.
