Why is it so hard to maintain friendships?
Hi, I’m 28F & I just quit my toxic job I had for ten years and long story short- it was destroying my mental health. I got a new one & tbh I’m in shock I’m not dealing with overwhelming anxiety all the time… I questioned if I was doing something wrong 😅. However, the downside is… most of my friends I know will ghost me & not answer back to messages.
Why is it so hard to maintain friendships?
This has been an issue any time I’ve left school or a workplace & have friends my age I will try to maintain those friendships with texting or inviting them to go out with me- but instead I usually end up ghosted. And I see they have seen my messages, I see that they are on social media… I just don’t get a response back. :(
I see other people with friend groups & I want that for myself… I just don’t understand what is so wrong with me that people don’t want to stay friends after the mutual school/workplace it out of the equation. My one friend that I have managed to maintain regular conversation with suggested I might be neurodivergent because they suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD & that could be part of it.
Idk, I want to start putting myself out in the wider community more. Where do people my age hang out? I’m not interested in drinking but want to go to some clubs or something. Idk I’m tired of feeling lonely & putting in all of the effort to maintain friendships like being the one that remembers birthdays, reaching out, etc.
It makes me wonder if I’m just meant to be alone… because I wonder “where are my people?” and instead I receive silence as a reply.
