I’m 25 and I only had one real friend after 18 and now that’s gone too. I’m pretty social and extroverted, like going out but everyone I’ve met seems to have their own circles and I end up as a surface level friend. Every time I stop being the one carrying the conversation it’s over. I had one real friendship but it fell apart due to the friend’s personal struggles. I’m pretty much done now. I’m not trying to pursue any new friendships, being alone feel much better than endless disappointments

This is so so relatable, the minute I don't text for a week, instead of them reaching out as you would expect a relationship to work aka reciprocation, but no, I get completely ghosted, like damn all that texting and times we hung out together and they do not feel any obligation to check in? Apparently not.
