just want you to know that you're not alone in feeling like this.  |
I can relate to the OP and thank you for this response. I have always gone through life believing this BUT lately I look around and it seems like others are able to keep some long-term friendships say after they no longer work together, or aren't in school together anymore etc. what does it say about me that once we no longer have the commonality that brought us together, that's it? I think I do share deeply enough with any friends I have at any given time and i definitely make it a point to always listen to them and empathize with whatever they are going through etc.
This pattern seems to be getting to me lately and I start feeling like I am just being used or something. Like people get what they want/need from me at the time and then they are done...idk. But what about my needs?
