Here’s my conflict. I have zero friends. But can I afford to be picky? If they never make plans, always blow me off when I ask to hangout, I’ll see them and they’ll say it’s been long, and they’re kinda dry then can I back up?

i have no friends and i’d rather have no friends than friends that don’t align with my values and beliefs or friends that are not good friends.

This is why I like clubs and hobby groups.

I only have two real friends all of the rest are exactly like how you described your friends. I took me along time to figure out who my true friends were so you shouldn’t give up.

I had friends like this my freshman year and not a single one of us is friends with each other. Save yourself the time and energy. The right people will find you and you’ll know that they’re your people cause you won’t have to work to keep their interest

I want to feel like the effort is mutual. I don’t want to feel like the only one who cares.

i think it’s a good idea not to continue friendships that aren’t fulfilling and don’t make you feel good. friendships are supposed to enrich and improve your life, not be a source of negative feelings

I think it’s hard bc whenever I thought I’ve made a new friend suddenly their interest fizzles, they barely answer my texts, they blow me off when I ask to hangout, but then still say they like me and want to see me eventually. It’s confusing and contradicting. If I ask to hangout sometimes I get vague non answers.

All of my friends have been made through clubs and hobbies and then mutuals of those friends that also share similar interests

Same, shared interests are the way to go imo
