I can understand why she has trouble making new friends
I recently posted about an acquaintance who wants to get to know me. The main reason is that she has been upset about not being able to make new friends. Since I don't want to repeat myself, I recommend reading out my last post.
On the other hand, I tried being nice to this woman and respecting where she was coming from. Still, she seemed to criticize me. For example, I made some compliments based on her social media page.
I told her that I liked her hair and that she seemed like a neat person with some interesting posts. Yet, she criticized me for that as well.
"Do me a favor and stop complimenting me because I have low self-esteem."
At that point, I acknowledged how she felt but also told her that I would like to get to know her but that's only if she doesn't keep criticizing everything I say. I also said that I was not comfortable with the way that she's been treating me.
Based on our interactions, the way she acts and perceives everything probably turns others off. I know that I am turned off as I feel that having a relationship with her would be toxic. Trust me, I have had plenty of toxic friendships and don't need anymore.

why it’s hard to make friends high school is good at teaching me this people never look at ur feelings or emotions it’s just hard to find whom you can relate specially when you have family issues too and you try to find happiness outside
@Delylah
I see your point. I had a hard time with friends in high school myself let alone understanding what a friend was. Yes, it's true that high school teachers don't recognize your feelings. I got bullied by peers in special ed who kept claiming they were my friends.
However, the other woman and I are both out of high school. I am in my early 40's while she's nearing her 40's. I don't think she's a bad person. Rather, she's someone who finds something to complain about.
