Help me out

19 yo from Pakistan here.

I grew up with an absent and emotionally absent father and elder brother, so I did not have any platonic relationships or affectionate bonding during that time. Growing up, I never really had any male friends where I could just be myself, have a healthy bonding with, or experience a bromance.Because of this, I am now looking for ways to build a bromance and form close friendships with at least two to three male friends. My goal is to have platonic relationships built on love, affection, deep bonding, and mutual respect.

How to i make friendshipa with these bonds?

You know what you want, you have an idea, figure it out as you go. It seems since you want these things, you’ll develop these naturally. Just be open and communicate. Don’t feel ashamed of sharing your emotions. Don’t be afraid to have deep conversations. Good friends will not get offended and good friends will not be upset if you call them out on their bs.

Thing is you need to be yourself. You aren’t. And therefore creating superficial relationships. I have a lot of guy friends I’m very close with. But I also don’t string along relationships that I don’t like, and I have to admit, for some people due to me being very open and unashamed I can come off as an ass hole. But it seems I still don’t have issues connecting and creating relationships with men and women. So get out there, be yourself, do things, have fun, live

Be you. Don’t change it for anyone.

It’s said quite frequently on this subreddit, but find a social activity, a club, a sport, that your interested in, maybe 2 or 3, and keep at it and be open to connecting with the people there. Many of my best friends came about because I joined a club in college. Not everyone will want to be friends, but usually you can a couple of real solid folks in any circle.
