Hi :) just saying i feel you with the incapability to keep close friends like you mentioned. So this message is to send you good vibes and strength to go through it. Idk how to help i mean my whole country is in lockdown so there is not even a possibility to meet new people or whatsever. If its the same for u we probably just have to get through it. Otherwise yeah wishing you good luck for the next few weeks and months to find new friends or reconnect with old ones :)
this message is incredibly kind, thank you for sending it 💕 yes it’s definitely a challenge at the moment for a lot of reasons. in normal circumstances I kind of have to choose anyway between having a small number of people that are really close or spreading myself too thin by trying to maintain lots of relationships. plus now the mix of pandemic times and personal health stuff makes it more difficult than ever. anyway I think I’m on a path of trying to accept that I’m more of the very close friends type and I’m unlikely to have a large group or lots of different friends I chat to on an average day. I’d love to be like my friends who talk to all sorts of people all the time but that’s not me and it’s ok! and if this strikes a chord with other people, I hope you know that there’s nothing wrong with cultivating a small number of friendships. even though it can feel like the goal should be to have as many friends as possible, choosing to focus on the quality of a small number is fine if that is what’s right for you. I just have to learn how to see that for myself because it can be such a source of shame and also learn to let the lost opportunities go! and for you anon, I’m sending you strength too and hopes that you find a way to deal with it that works for you 🥰
