Just want to make friends!
Anybody just want to make new friends? A lot of my friends all dropped me so I got hurt. Real bad. Especially when I see all their posts on instagram without me. They said “people change” but they all still hang out together, just not with me. I don’t want to feel sad about it anymore. I’m a strong person. I’d like to think I’m funny and a really friendly person to be with. I am a loyal and caring friend. Just wanted to see if there’s others who have been through this. Or any advice would help really. Keep your heads up. ❤️

Hello there, So sorry that you are feeling down and sad about the lack of friends that you use to have. That is very hard I hear the pain in your voice as I read this post. I don't know why your friends abandon you but I think they are missing out on someone special. We don't know why people do what they do. You were able to post your heart here and I believe that you can make some new friends. That may be hard if you are not real social but like Instagram and other social media sites maybe you can join a conversation and get something going. Just by showing your self friendly just as you did here opens doors.
Do you have friends here at 7cups? This is an ideal place to test the waters. Start with a few small steps like in a group forum and begin to reply to others and you might just be surprised how quickly you can gain friends. It hurts to lose our friends but sometimes they just were not meant to stay in our lives and we have to move on. When they walk away they were not meant to stay.
Hope this helps you some. Keep being Funny and Loyal it will take you a long way in life😊

I know how you feel. I don't have many friends either. I'm up for making new friends.
@braveWillow19 I worked for 16 years with my former employer. ALL of my friendships were tied to my job. I spent so much time with these women that I considered them my sisters. We connected at work and during get togethers outside of work. Due to a very regrettable situation, I was forced into submitting my resignation. I lost my job and all of what I thought were strong friendships. That was 4 years ago. I have no friends. I ended up on disability due to chronic pain, anxiety and depression. I am home all the time. I am depressed most days...okay...every day. I don't want to do anything. Everything feels too hard. I think that I've become accustomed to not having friends, but it still can feel very lonely. I mean who wants to be around, spend time with someone who is sad and hopeless? It definitely feels like wearing a scarlet letter...warning people to stay away and avoid me at all costs. I sympathize with you and what you're going through. I hope that this community will be able to help you and me. Sending you lots of love, hugs and understanding
