I understand you your amazing and kind

[FriendlyDude]

I understand, but remember, nobody can make you feel good about yourself. Only you can do that

You can always try to make new friends, however hard that may be. Or try to maintain and improve the friendships you already have

Do your best to do (healthy/safe) things that make you happy, and believe in yourself. No need to be cocky 😂 but believe in yourself. Believe that you can be happy, try to figure out how to be happy even in times when you miss having friends. Take good care of yourself and your needs. “Laughter is great medicine” maybe you can try that 😂

I wish you the best!

[Hb2003 in reply to FriendlyDude]

Good advice 😊👍

[Sid_Arthur in reply to Hb2003]

Yeah, . . . bet you wish you'd said !

Gone on, . . . . sing us all a happy song, . . . . no need to be sad & coy, . . . is there ? Younger voices so much appreciated, . . . . . esp. while Eric Idle has a sore throat !

Sometimes we have to find our own happiness n not rely on others for that.That..will ultimately give u strength.

Ever since my break up with my ex in 2010... My life spiralled out of control, the scene of friends dried up... I lost touch with everyone after trouble happened then I ended up in jail, then I got an apartment and I was totally alone... I went to bars for a while but they were trouble, and coffee shops which were also troubling... I devoted my time to my music endeavor and cooking to escape the loneliness... For five years no friends, my relationship with my sister and her friends deteriorated... Then the pandemic happened and the lockdown which totally unutterably kept me in isolation... It's like Solitary confinement.... It was definitely hard to deal with... But now I have become adaptive, and comfortable with the idea of having no friends.. it helps having a focus, an aspiration, an ambition, a dream to carry yourself through the hardships of loneliness and despair... We can adapt to any situation, but with patience and strength.... And the glow of hopefulness, and dreams will be restored with time.

We can be friends if you like. I do understand anxiety and depression too
