Becoming friends
I want friends. Friends are nice, understanding, and honest. I feel like now has not been the time to make friends. I tried to make friends with people I met on the bus but that was not a good idea. I don't go to school so there's that. I don't play a sport yet. I'm currently trying to lose a lot of weight at home. When I go out to the gym I feel scared that someone will come in and hurt me or someone else. I'm very afraid and I feel like my fear gets in the way of me making friends. That and I'm sad about not having any more friends. I used to have friends but idk what happened. We'll that's all I got for now. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for opening up it takes a lot of courage to share what you're feeling, and I want you to know I see you. I hear the pain in your words, the loneliness, the fear, and that deep longing to connect with others. And honestly? You’re not alone in this, even if it feels like it right now.
Wanting friends isn’t silly or needy it’s human. We all need people who get us, who sit with us when we’re down, and laugh with us when we’re okay again. It’s okay that now hasn’t felt like the time for that. Life sometimes puts us in these in-between spaces, where things feel quiet, or scary, or uncertain. But that doesn’t mean you won’t find your people eventually.
I know it’s hard when you’ve tried and things didn’t go well. That can really shake your trust in trying again. And with everything you’re dealing with working on your health, managing fear, and just trying to feel okay you’re already carrying so much. Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing your best, and that’s more than enough right now.
It's okay to feel scared. It’s okay to feel sad. Those feelings don’t make you weak they make you real. And I believe there are kind, safe, genuine people out there who are going to be so lucky to know you. It just might take a little time, and that’s okay too.
You're not broken. You’re just in a hard chapter. But chapters turn. And this one will, too. I’m rooting for you. Always.
@navyCamp6194 making friends is not easy 🙁 and your old friends you used to have, well life just gets in the way, so that has nothing to do with you as a person 💖 hopefully when you start a sport you will make many great friends💖 and I know it's not exactly the same, but thank God we have this site where we can make many amazing friends 💖 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗
