Im 19(f) and i need advice for making friends. I don’t have any friends of my own. I moved to new area to live with my bf.
Everyone i know is through my bf, and it feels like i annoy them or like they only tolerate me to be nice. Im also tired of bothering my bf by being around him with his friends all the time.
I go out a few nights a week to shows and events, sometimes alone sometimes with my bf. I’ve tried really hard to make some friends of my own with no luck.
I don’t have much experience socializing. I had strict parents who never let me hang out with people, i was 17 when covid hit, so I didnt get to go out or meet people after i moved out.
Life is finally opening up again but no matter how much I go out and try to be social i still feel like everyone hates me and i have no friends. Its just getting lonely at this point.
How do i make genuine connections with people?
