Honestly, internally speaking I can’t fight these battles on my own. I’m starting to think “work on yourself first” logic isn’t it and I just need a friend.

no literally i tried that at college after my roommate started making more friends and didn’t really hang out with me anymore and i didn’t make myself better i just got sad that i had no one here like i had so much going on and i had no one to talk to abt it that fucking sucked

its so bad bc therapists, social media, etc always tell you “just love yourself!”without ever showing you how to get there, but truthfully, as someone who’s been there, you won’t really feel connected to anyone until you’re able to connect to yourself. (dumb ik) for finding friends, start with hobbies you have or interests you have. this is the most annoying part, but the more clubs, events, etc you go to for those interests, the more you’ll find the people also looking for friends.

Right , and when I think about therapy(personally and from experience) I just think well their getting paid to care . I understand their job but I want something without that feeling—hence a friend which I find more beneficial approach (though I’m struggling in that department)

at the same time, you need to make sure that you know your interests, that you know what you’re looking for, and that you have some sense of identity in yourself, not just based on things you like. it’s not gonna last otherwise. these things inherently help you build yourself up enough to have a reason to work on the harder things.
