One of my fears
3 years ago
I wished that I was able to conquer my ptsd and fears, fears that if I meet someone IRL, they will drift away, like I don't click with anyone, I'm gun shy when it comes to spending time with my friends irl. When it comes to now and my problems? They may never iron out, and I'll never be "okay" I'm too much for people and I'm stressful, I have no real escape, I just, want to feel okay, and genuinely happy, I'm just not allowed, I'm such a joke. I've lost 5 friends, two were best friends, all because of who I am, I can't help but feel, like I made myself this way and I deserve it, I just, feel so alone, even if I'm told that someone is there for me, I still feel alone.
making friends doesn't have to be so serious. i guarantee you there are others that feel the same way, that they're alone and dont feel like they belong. all it takes is one of you to finally take that first step and interact. you don't have to be close friends right away, and like all relationships they take time and some effort to talk and do things together. its going to feel like a massive leap of faith, but when you have nothing else to look for, taking that plunge and interacting with new people is your best and most reliable way to build and rebuild a social life.
