You need to learn to build a relationship with yourself first. Start doing exercises such as going to places you’d usually go with a partner or friend by yourself. Find the beauty in being on your own. At the end of the day, no matter what, you only have yourself. What’s meant to happen will happen. (If you believe), god has a plan for you and you need to trust in that. Look at your friends’ misunderstanding as a good thing. Keep your mind off of it, find distractions.
