This question arises after doing almost everything possible

I can understand. But we have to try. It’s that phase of our lives where we have seen real faces of the people whom we once trusted more than ourselves. So everyone is a little bit on a cautious side and it’s natural. No one wants to get hurt at this stage of life. So try slowly. Give them space and just talk. Baatein karo. Trust me baatein karne se easy kuch nahi hota

Agreed

Efforts usually tend to be one sided

Put efforts without much thinking that it is one sided or both side…if you connect genuinely it works.

Trust me, have been doing that all my life. You trust people, let them in, think they are really good friends, and they end up leaving, then you start all over again. That’s just been the cycle. It’s frustrating, to a point where you don’t have the energy to do all of this over and over again just to get hurt.
Losing friends hurts more than even a relationship ending.

That’s how it has been for a while, but it does get lonely you know.

Trust me I’ve witnessed loneliness pretty closely that you can’t even imagine. But that doesn’t mean the outside world is all hunky-dory. We all need a shoulder to lean on no matter what and I wouldn’t denie onto that fact ever at all. But the fact doesn’t change a bit at all and we all need to be realistic to realize nobody can bring back the rundown time.

Well, no one here is sitting crying in a corner like ‘ohh I’ve no friends I’m lonely’, but it won’t be nice to have a few friends to talk to, go out with for a change instead of doing things all by yourself.

True that is and you’ve got every right to do so as well. But the million dollar question is are you willing to put ya trust & faith into someone known and called as friend to lead that imagination thoughtfulness moments for real huh.
