Last year i decided to cut connections with some of my friends and while it was the right decision, now i can’t make friends the same way, i think its because i dont know who i am and what i want, in the group friend dynamic wasnt healthy and i didnt feel appreciated, any tips on how to gain life long friends?

Friendships can be a lot of work and not everyone is committed, people will come and go as life gets more complicated.

Stick with the basic requirements, honesty, respect, communication and loyalty. See if the activities that you like can include others into it.

Are there chat groups or forums where people have lively discussions on it? Here we have the icebreaker section which is a lot of fun in the meantime :)

@Gigilovee09 Yea I can imagine when you're used to chatting away and then it disappears, it's disconcerting :(

The icebreakers is a fun section where you can join in ask questions, provide answers, can be silly or serious :)

Hi I'm bassey that's the best decision you have made

Some doors feel heavy only because of fear what keeps people stuck is often not the door but the mind.

Be always positive get to one good friend by studying and observing the person with time you'll get along.

That’s so true bassey, i didn’t realize how bas it was until i left, no one realizes how much friends affect you until its too late

Thank you for the advice i will keep it in mind for sure :)

@Gigilovee09 hey I want to say that I'm proud of you for taking that step not many people can cut ties with toxic relationships especially if they're gaslit into thinking this is the norm. I hope you find the right friend group eventually who'll make you feel happier <3

Thank you so much! Yes exactly i was fully convinced this is what i deserved, it was absolute ***, and it mostly happens to people pleasers until we snap, it always felt like the friend group was blaming me for anything that went wrong and that’s not how you are supposed to feel with the closest people to you, thank you hopefully <3
