Hard to find the “right” friend
Anyone else ever feel like you just hard to find the “right” friend? The people closest to me aren’t very supportive. They tend to see only the problems with things, especially new things/opportunities. I don’t like sharing my personal life with colleagues and as a busy mom/wife/teacher, I don’t get many opportunities to have my own friends to share stuff with. I’m also an only child so no sibling I can go to. Sometimes I just wish I had a friend I could call, share things with, get some support, and carry on. It’s just hard….
Hi I’ll be your friend
Wow- At the risk of sounding like a Karen- can you not! This is offensive on so many levels.
Don't feed the troll. That's what it wants. Just report the messages 🙂
Thank you for the support. I’m new so didn’t know how to respond to that!
Welcome to 7cups! Hope you enjoy it here. Most people are very supportive and caring.
Thank you to whoever removed that. Absolutely awful!

I understand. For me to interact with people i need something to interact over, some activity. I can't stand going to parties and just standing around talking to people. Most people have nothing to say that is worth listening to and likewise most people are uninterested in what I have to say.
Example
Mentioning you have children - I am great with that.
Telling me your kid got an award - That's cool too.
Telling me about how your kid won the award. No thank you. I don't want to be friends with your child.
So because i don't have a way to interact with people so i don't get board with them before i get to know them. I have made exactly 0 friend in the past 10 years.

I am inviting you to join me in the Sharing Circle chat room where
you will meet other members of 7Cup.com !
Sorry to hear that this is happening to you. I’m sure that with time you’ll find that one friend who loves you and supports you, but for now you could try taking your mind off things and picking up a new hobby you like doing. You might even find the “right” friend from starting that hobby.
@caringtiger0221 It can be, but it all depends on, what you are looking for in a friend.
Can we be our own 'right' friend?
@caringtiger0221
Yeah but what would you offer them? Will you see them like you want to be seen?
I feel you. I hang out in a small circle of friends.
