It seems that this is an opportunity for you to reflect on aspects of various kinds of relationships - as these have different levels of connection, caring, trust, commitment, etc. Sometimes a person wants to have a close attachment with someone, or sometimes a person wants friendship, or maybe just acquaintance. What one person wants, might not quite fit with what another person wants from the relationship. So - how do people match? Perhaps it's helpful to reflect on what's been learned from this past year of breakup and disrupted friendship, and then consider how to create a happier future for yourself - a future in which you can build the kinds of friendships and other relationships that are meaningful and comfortable for you. If you find yourself feeling lonely - it's valuable to recognize this. And to realize that there are many ways to counter the loneliness, many ways to find/be with other people.
