i’ve lost all of my friends since september 2024. my boyfriend was in a similar situation last year but he got his friends back. and i’m so happy for him, i really am. but it's so draining seeing him hang out with them. i’m just so jealous because i wish i could hang out with my friends too. everytime he's with them i feel so bad because it reminds me that i have no one. when i’m not hanging out with him i’m all alone. meanwhile he pushes back plans with his friends to hang out with me. i feel so bad for being jealous of him. and so alone because i feel like i'm missing out on "the best years of my life" i have no girlfriends to hang out with, no one to tell everything to. i'm missing out on the white girlhood experience and it's tiring

How/why did you lose your friends?

How did you lose your friends? Have you made any effort to connect with them or new people?

i started college this year so a lot of my friends changes city and idk i guess i just slowly stopped talking to the rest of them

Have you made any effort to get back in touch with them? September wasn’t that long ago, send some texts and try and get back in touch

People may feel the same way, maybe try sending a wee message asking for a catch up? X

hey! i was in this situation as my boyfriend started to go out drinking but to fix my issues i got a job. it lifted my confidence as i met people, as well as made friends with my colleagues. branch out, talk to people! it does work

Have you tried making any new friends in college?

i still talk to some of my friends but i just don't feel as connected to them as i was before. we don't have the same interests etc. so i’m always happy to talk to them but i won't hang out with them a lot if yk what i mean

@aurielle i tried by i’m really awkward and i had a lot of anxiety this year, like i never had before, so it's was a nightmare for me to talk to new people and ig at the end of the year i just gave up

@ilovecats567 thank you ! i’m searching for a job rn so i’m hoping i'll make friends through that !
