I keep trying to make friends but it hasn't been working out. for example, I met a guy the day before yesterday, and yesterday we talked throughout the day. today he messages me saying he can't be my friend because i "don't struggle with the same mental health problems and relationship problems" he does. we actually never talked about any of that, so he wouldnt know if i did or not, and i actually DO struggle with the same stuff he does. but I didn't bother to correct him because if he wants to make false assumptions about me then I probably don't want him in my life anyway. i dont care about him, I'm talking about this only because it hurts that people aren't giving me a fair chance, it also triggers my abandonment issues. I still have my best friend, and I'm grateful to have her, but I don't like solely relying on her

You’re showing resilience even by talking about it. You know your worth you know your truth and soon you’ll find people who recognize it without hesitation.
I understand the fear of relying too much on one person but even one solid friendship is proof that you are loved and valued. More will come even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.
It’s tough when connections fizzle out before they even begin but friendship isn’t about convincing someone to stay. It’s about finding those who naturally do.
You deserve friendships built on openness curiosity and mutual care. If someone decides to walk away before knowing you that’s their loss not yours.
I know how rejection can feel like abandonment but trust me every time someone exits your life unfairly it just makes more space for the ones who truly belong.
I’ve had people walk away based on false assumptions and at first it hurt. But then I realized I’m not here to prove myself to people who don’t want to see me fully.
It’s frustrating when someone won’t even give you a fair chance but honestly? If they don’t care to know the truth they weren’t meant to be in your circle anyway.
hey know the sting of being dismissed for reasons that don’t even make sense. But someone who assumes instead of asks isn’t someone worth chasing real connections come from mutual understanding.
yeah i know how that feels and we can have diverse issues and dislikes and likes and still be friends anyway so i dont get where that guy is at but you know what and this is what ive seen ... less friends is better i mean yeah sure have loads of friends if u can but mostly its a few who stick and are genuinely interested in your life anyway
