I find it hard to make real friends. And I don´t mean people I generally like to hang out with and have coffee with but friends, that I can truely open up to and show all of me and be actually really and fully myself.
I guess it´s because I have so many vulnerable sides in me, or "triggers" that can give me intense anxiety. Or generally my mental health problems. It´s not so easy to tell this new people and I don´t want to.
Yet, those and my life´s problems are a part of me so I need to be able to express those too, to a real friend.
I have thought about joining self-help groups where genereally there are people with simulare difficulties that it´s easier to open up.

Then again, I believe you can learn best from people that don´t necessary have the same problems you do and can give you different perspectives.

Also, you don´t always want to talk about your problems. Sometimes you just want to have a fun time with your friends...

What do you think?
