Friends were always very important to me. However, I also had a hard time to make new ones. Over the years there slipped a lot of friendships, especially like @Calvin77described after moving country. I had a hard time to deal with the situation and questioned myself why I can't hold them. However to be honest I could have done much more to take care of those friendships. Friends are great but they also needed a real emotional and timely effort. Luckily I can say that I still have a few very close friends for years already. But since I'm a mum I'm just too busy to worry about how to make new friends But this might change again...

This is only her 2nd relationship in her life, she was with 1 guy from high school until like 8 years ago. People hated that guy because he was extremly toxic and didn't let her see anyone especially males but she stayed because she loved him even after they broke up she was trying to get him therapy and was trying to fix him and he lived with her. So apparently she has a thing for these types of toxic guys. I dunno what that means though. But when she said she's working on trust with him so cleared off all her male friends and wont be able to hike with me anymore once a year or talk on the phone I knew right in that instant he was sabotaging my friendship with her the entire time which is why the friendship started going 1 sided. She was with him for 2 years, they broke up and she was panicing so much she went to the hospital and the doctor said it was just a broken heart. Once I found out they broke up I was right there talking to her on the phone like 3-4 times every month checking up on her, texting her all the time making sure she was ok...she even surprised me wanting to see me after her work for some food and sit down at the ocean. A few weeks later we hiked and I thought she was doing much better so I told her I would talk to her in a couple months, she hated that but I stuck with it, pretty much after that things between us took a huge drop off. A year and a half later here we are with this thread.

Looking for friends in my area similar to my age and older i’ll gladly say hey!

Hello and happy weekend. I’m new to the area and looking to make friends. I’m also new to this website.

I also have a small circle, and many of my friends live in other countries which makes it hard to meet or keep up with everything. I definitely think it's important to have friends in your life, but it's not the number that counts. Quality over quantity 💫 I honestly don't know how to make friends lol normally it has happened via friends in common, so thank god for my extroverted amigas! 😅

so, my friend recently decided to hang out with one of our mutual friends. she was going to hang out with me that day and that’s when she let me know that she would have to leave early because she was already going to hangout with our mutual friend, but told me that she wanted to hang out with her alone, because she was going to see me the next day anyways. the only thing is, is that she’s never hung out with her alone. we all usually hangout together when we do. Today I found out that she was hanging out with our friend again alone, and she had the chance to include me since i told her i was free but she never did. what should i do?

I am new here to make friends.

About 3 years ago I was really miserable. I had dealt with mental illness for years and was finally feeling better than depressed but was still so unhappy. But I had gratitude for the fact that I was mentally healthy. That gave me just a little bit of happiness. And I used that bit of happiness to get myself to do other things that would make me happy. I joined a church, made friends who also had autism like me, and eventually landed my dream job. I hope to encourage others to invest their happiness however small amount they may have into achieving greater happiness goals.

When I was single, I got to know two different women who were used by their (then ex) boyfriends. One told me, she needed a lot of time and needed to start a relationship very slowly. Unfortunately, it turned out, she was dating another guy while I was patiently waiting as a friend. So I said goodbye and OF COURSE! the guy just used her and was unfriendly. But I never gave her another chance. The other one was really just a friend I got to know while gaming and we didn't expect a relationship at all. But we became best friends, told each other everything and we became so important to each other that we got together. I don't know your damaged empath, but my experience taught me: If she denies a relationship and wants you as a friend, you will give her everything because you love her and she will just use that and give nothing back. So I would let her go, but I can be wrong as well, since you can't really compare people. I would recommend to do something you like to do for fun in public and get to know good people that way. If you like dancing, start a dancing class. If you like some kind of sport, work out and talk to the other people about your common interest. If you like chess, go to a chess club. This way, you do something for yourself. You like something, so you do it. Maybe you will meet someone nice, but even if you don't, you will at least have some fun.

Hello dear how are you doing hope you are fine am a man am here to meet friends ❤️

Hello, to all who are looking forward to becoming the best being they picture themselves. I can say it is not an easy road, there will be sleepless nights, days where you can't stomach anything, crying out of the blue, but we are not in this alone. REMEMBER we are NOT in this alone! There's nothing wrong with asking for help, we all don't have it together so why act like it. I'm not ashamed to say I have a therapist, but let's be real they are not always a phone call away, so we have to seek out ourselves. One place I love to visit is Pinterest for inspirational quotes, I seek out to friends/family who I feel that I can trust, and vent. Greatness requires a lot of focusing on yourself and tuning away the distractions so let's seek it together. I'm always here for anyone who wants to open up.

I read this article with tips on how to fall asleep more easily, and I found it soooo interesting! I usually don't have any problems falling asleep, but so many of my friends do so I'll definitely forward them this article. Do you have any other foolproof tips on how to fall asleep? Let's share them here!

All is well, Marti. Thank you! I do miss the Philippines, particularly my friends and colleagues. Anyway, hope all is well on your side too!

I have a few very good friends and am happy like that! It takes me time to build a relationship with people. I think living without any friends is touch: since isolation I have missed those friends a lot. How about you?

I hope you’re all right but you will be all right and I would love to take you out maybe use look forward to when you’re ready. We don’t have to go out we just be friends we can pick on him.

I'm new here, and so grateful to have found a positive, uplifting platform in this crazy time in the world!!! I'm from South Africa and am really excited to meet new friends globally! I am getting into mindset-coaching and have come quite a far way already, i should hopefully be starting my practise soon... My hobbies include, reading, self growth, universal learning, drawing, quantum physics. I LOVE learning through others as well as helping others with the profound knowledge i possess. I so look forward to making new global friends! Love and Light Shelly G.R

We welcome you here, though I am also new here, and trying to find out how it works...i am from India and working as a corporate person, after college life it seems very tough to make new friends. Can you explain why it is so tough to make new friends after moving into working culture, beside official friend.

I have a strong faith in the fact that we are always exactly where we are supposed to be. I've learned that you'll know exactly what to say when it needs to be said. We get what we need when we need it. I was researching and looking for answers to shed some light on what it is I'm being called to do and stumbled across this website. I spend a lot of my time alone so this may be exactly where I need to be to find like minded friends to share with. I'm never lost.

I’m a loving dad of a 26 year old beautiful daughter, she is severely overweight but is working towards bariatric surgery, she’s tried diets and they don’t work. She has no friends other than those online far away, she’s never had a boy friend and spends most of her time in her room on her computer. My heart is breaking for her, she cried telling me how worthless she was and how lonely she was the other night and I just wanted to break down with her but I had to stay strong. She is on medication for bipolar and depression but more needs to be done. For whatever reason men don’t see the real her because of her size and it kills me she is so beautiful inside and out. I need advice on how to get her out of her shell and to become part of the world again. Please help a loving father save his daughter!!

Here to make friends.. I'm 32, from india, a traveller, geek.. Into Business.. now resigned and doing digital contents.. love to make friends, be positive, travel, and be happy..
