Girlfriend is my only friend
Hi. Not sure if this is the best place to post this. I have trouble making friends. Most of the time I actually don’t mind not having too many friends. I enjoy time by myself and I’m also usually in a relationship with someone. But I transfer the strong need I have for a deep emotional connection with someone completely upon the person I’m with. When things stop going smoothly I lose that support and start looking for someone else pretty much straight away. I’m looking for ways to stop the cycle.
Can anyone relate to this?

no matter what other people think you are special and so is anyone else and i know that if you can find yourself a gf you can find yourself a friend
Thank you.

I think many people do this only being best friend with partner... I think having another person to talk to to share your thoughts and feelings helps a relationship. Sometimes when we are the only friend for a partner..... it is overwhelming and often we do not give feedback or other things to think about as we do not want to rock the boat.
I made friends with others and feel comfortable in sharing a situation with partner to get an outside perspective and often I see my perspective is flawed.
I hope my partner has a person to speak with but I feel he does not. Because we have had different opinions on some things..... he barely shares anymore and our emotional connection is fading fast IMO.
Thanks for the reply. Definitely better to have someone else to talk to, especially when things get tough or your opinions differ to the point where you can’t talk about things.
