Friends
I've struggled making friends my whole life. I really only have 3 and they all have their own families or other friends. I'm the only one who's always alone. It's really frustrating because when they're busy I have no one to talk to or spend time with. I'm not close to my family and i am not in a relationship. I can't even celebrate things like my birthday or graduation from grad school in May because I don't have anyone to celebrate with. I just want to experience the same things other people get to do.

That sounds tough *hugs". May I ask, what do you find difficult in making friends?
It's hard to point to one specific thing. There's so many things that are hard about it. I've tried making friends at work before because they were around my age, but they always declined when I asked them to hang out. I've gone to meetupa before but never really got close to anyone. I just don't know how to make friends or where to find them. Everyone seems like they already have friends and don't need any.
I relate immensely to this, it's almost like I'm not quite alone, but I feel so so immensely alone because other people seem to be so overly saturated with communication and friendships. I'm sorry you experince this too. I'm here to talk!
