I don’t understand why im lonely. I’m 18 and I’d say im pretty. Im super supportive and a good listener. One day I just woke up and had no friends, I didn’t even notice I didn’t have friends becausel was so busy in school then at work then hanging out with my boyfriend. I try to make plans with people but they always cancel last minute or I try to talk to someone and they dont engage in the conversation whatsoever.
What if l’m boring ? Whenever I do talk to
people I feel like l’m over sharing, my life is very hectic plus I don’t smile alot so I feel like people are scared of me. I don’t know what to do, l’d just like to have the chance to invite someone out for ice cream and them saying " yes" without
thinking.

Not having friends can be hard. I too used to have a problem with no friends and felt soo lonely. I blamed myself that it was probably my fault, that there was something wrong with me. But then I realized that my best friend should be me. Day after day I said positive affirmations to myself: I am enough. I am grateful. I am beautiful. I am good. I tried not to get upset about not having friends, but to be grateful for what I have, which is health, a pretty good relationship with my mom, and a temp job that allowed me to pay for things. When I changed job, I met some cool people who became my friends. I think I attracted that then. Remember that you are at the beginning of your journey. You’re going to meet a lot of people on your path. Maybe somewhere there is someone just like you and waiting for your paths to cross. Life is like a wave - sometimes you’re on it, something below it. I believe in destiny. So listen to your intuition and follow it. Many of us feel alone at times.
