i’ve struggled with making friends my whole life and i’ve never had a close friend. i have social anxiety but i don’t think i’m terribly awkward or weird. i rarely get asked to hang out by someone and have gotten ghosted many times. i suffer from really bad depression and having no one just makes it so much worse. i don’t have anyone to help me when i’m going through a hard time and it’s the worst feeling ever. i just want a good friend but it feels impossible for me to find one. it shouldn’t be this hard, right? being alone makes life feel so meaningless, empty and unbearable and i don’t feel motivated to do anything because what the point?

First off I hope you’re getting help for the depression. Getting the the right meds and seeinf a therapist changed my life. Secondly what are your hobbies or interests? Find local groups that have the same hobbies ect and that’s the best way I’ve found to make friends. Good luck and if you ever need to talk me or I’m sure many people would listen.
Sorry to hear what you’re going through. I can’t say I know exactly what you’re going through but I definitely know it feels so, so hard to make friends. You’re not alone with what you’re going through and if you want another person to talk to I’m here!
For depression, I hope you go see a therapist. To make friends try to find groups that share your interests so you can bond over that. Remember you aren’t alone in being alone. I hope you can find close friends. You can message me if you want to talk about this more.
