Friends - Am I the weird one?

I’ve always loved talking people and getting to know them on a deep, personal level. I’ve had many great interactions with many interesting people, but I feel like it’s hard for me to keep a friend. A lot of people I know would ask me for advice, show great interest in me and want to do things with me but whenever I meet them, I’m always feeling empty or feeling like I give so much but don’t get anything back if that makes sense? I find it hard to find people that I connect with and even when I try to meet people without expectations I constantly just feel… disappointed.

No you are not the weird one.......

i find people are either a blessing or a lesson

when i am the person putting in effort offering more in a friendship and effort to understand them ... than i am getting back in return.............i see it is my turn to be a lesson or help and then time when someone else even if i did not see it at the time gave me far more then i did in return

It’s just so difficult. I have been feeling incredibly lonely in my life recently, and I just want to be able to have someone to talk to, spend time with and just live life and be happy with. Friendship is important to me and the fact that I don’t have any solid friends makes me feel like a failure.

Thank you. I know that there are probably a lot of people who feel the same as I do, but it does get feel like you’re alone when you’re in your head so much

Like you, it has been hard making friends where we live now. Thanks for sharing because I thought I was the only one.
