  • I am so sorry you feel this way. Maybe it's not you, it could be other people.

    however, do you make an effort to keep in touch whilst still not overcrowding people? A friendly text twice a week and a phone call once every two or three weeks, and trying to meet up every few months is probably the right balance I think anyway.

    it is hard, but try to make sure you discuss things which are of interest to them as well as you.

    I am ssure you are a lovely person. People just need to get to know you and everything you have to offer.

    p.s. I bet there are people who would call themselves your friends. Maybe you just need to notice them?
