What do you like? Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy doing on your own time?

I think that when a person lives alone, that person is given the opportunity to figure out what they enjoy doing and what keeps them entertained. Friends provide support, but they cannot "fix" you. I think it's really important to pay attention to whether the friends who do try to fix your problems are being supportive to you (i.e., you feel good and strong after talking to them) or if they are just seeking chaos-seekers (i.e., they thrive on anyone's chaos which does not help you out at all.) But since you haven't lived alone, you live with roommates, you need to establish your boundaries so that you can still take advantage of that opportunity to figure out what you enjoy doing on your own.

If you can't be a friend to yourself, how can you be a friend to someone else? Take yourself out and show yourself a good time! The friend thing works itself out, all you have to do is stay honest to yourself and keep your word when you give it.

Take care!
Thanks for this!
