How do I make new friends post college? I don’t think mine really care about me. My car broke down and no one has reached out to me to hang out for my birthday. Life is bad man

Honestly, this is where you have to be the social butterfly and fake it til you make it. It’s kinda like SATC, all of them met just on random casual occasions and became friends through conversation. The hard part about it not working out is rejection, but you realize that there are 100 reasons someone isn’t your friend and who you are, how much you’re worth, and how great of a friend you can be aren’t likely in the top 90.

Also, pick up a new hobby you enjoy. Whether it’s chalk art, a crappy guitar, skateboarding, shit even playing with Barbies. Nobody gets to the end of the road and wishes that they’d spent more time waiting for someone to value them, but people regret the feeling of not being connected with themselves and a part of their own life. Happy birthday, love you sugar

That was really sweet u lowk made me tear up a bit. I think you’re right, ig it’s just hard to keep trying to push for connection with people and get shut down a lot. But maybe if you hit the wall enough times you’ll eventually break thru

A broken window still lets light on baby, just because things aren’t perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t good. Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good. Things will be good for you. I get being frustrated and disheartened when there’s a lack of companionship. It’s not about you, though. It never was. Sometimes it’s better to have one person who you feel so connected with (even if that takes time) rather than 100 you felt indifferent about you. It’s going to be okay dear
