I’m a 23M and I recently left my friend group after I was disrespected multiple times. I didn’t really announce it to the group I was leaving and just decided to cut them from my life. No one reached out to see how I was doing and to see why I left. This alone answered if anyone really cared about me.
Now I’m here trying to move from my close friends but it has been really hard. Mentally I invested 5 years to our friendships and then all of sudden it’s just gone. However, when I was with them, I always felt like I had to prove myself to the group. I felt like an outsider. I know this is the best thing to do but it’s so hard to move on.
I fear that I won’t be able to make new friends at this point of my life. I work remote, don’t really go out that much, and have lost touch with all my friends from high school. I really don’t have anyone to talk to now, celebrate milestones with, or just to do things with.
Can anyone suggest anything to help me move on? Should I connect back with my friend group and tell them what I’m thinking. I’m kinda getting depressed in many ways. Thanks for your help!
