You do have the interests in common, right?

On one hand, you don’t need to be very similar to be good friends. It’s more about accepting and valuing the other person as they are.

On the other hand, there’s bound to be some people with a similar personality you have, and yes, you can probably find them and even make friends with them.

This goal is already a good start. What kind of person are you looking for to be your friend?

Especially when you’ve gotten into the habit of shutting people out (bad habit of mine, and I’ll work on it…at some point). I wish you the best of luck!

I have almost the exact same problem. I don’t know what to do about it either. It seems I’ll always be alone. But I might be asking too much out of people. The point is, I’m so CONFUSED! Real friends are what I want more than anything…
