Let's talk about friends (not the TV show...)

in General Discussion

I am not writing this post for advice or to feel sorry for myself or whatever. I'm genuinely curious if anybody else experience this.

Does anybody else struggle to make friends as an adult? I will say right off the bat that I struggle with anxiety so face to face conversations with strangers are difficult for me. As such, online communication is my go to so a lot of my friends are online and I'm fine with that. But even online, I sometimes find it difficult to make friends.

And following on from that, does anyone feel like everyone else has a million friends but I have two? I have my best friend who I tell everything to and my work bestie. It's a similar relationship but I tell my best friend absolutely everything whereas I do leave some bits out for my work bestie.

I'm just curious if anyone can relate?

I totally relate to you Rachel. I find it easier making friends online than face to face. I have a circle of my girlfriends and all of them are extroverts. So even if I make new friends, it's through them. I have very good friends at work too, but as you said, I leave some bits out when I am with them.
