No friends

i have had this same situation for many years..my family relationship is very rocky and has been quite poor over the last few years. i have tried to attend a support group for my condition. I try to be kind to myself and manage my mood, thoughts, and actions as best I can because that really makes a difference. I get scarred that life will be worse for me and I often compare and contrast which hurts me. I feel like I am treated less by others. Some of its perception. Other parts may be true in a way so I know I have to take care of myself because when it comes down to it others may not be on my side somehow (for at least how I want my life to be or what I desire). I think self love or self care is human connection. It’s human connection with your own mind and body which could can teach people how to be at peace with themselves, their minds, their bodies, other people, and the environment. So yes, human connection with others is something else, but it can start from within from the person to learn about how to approach others. So much of the imbalance I discover in myself stems from the lack of connection to myself which if worked on can have a positive ripple effect on others. It can work the other way around too though! Just what I’ve noticed. Everyone has different experiences. It’s good I think to write and journal about self-reflection. I can see in your post you are thinking about things and want to feel better. That is very human and showing you love yourself and care for your own life. Thank you for the warm wishes and I wish you the very best in life and for healing to reach you.

I’m like you too ❤️ you’re not alone xx

Hiya @Vector5, I know what it feels like to feel like you have no friends, I had the same feeling when I transferred schools and felt like making friends was hard, I was cut off from my other friends due to COVID and all. The way I did end up making friends and have the close friend group circle that I have now is through well patience and working on myself. It took time but I built one of the best friendships I've ever had from that moment on, and what helped me do that was going through this. There's a saying in Dutch where it basically translates to "Every advantage has it's disadvantage", that came for me in which I realised my negatives in life, as in how I could have a negative influence on others, maybe by putting them down, by boasting or whatever, it got me to a point where I was able to ground myself and get a better perspective, in the end I made myself a person that people liked being around. Maybe it's not working out right now, but you have to start somewhere, the fact that you've tried talking and it hasn't worked out, that's fine, it happens to us all, but you have to realise every friendship takes time, they don't happen overnight, just keep on doing what you're doing and you're bound to make friends

I understand. I am in much the same boat. Hugs to you
