I have nightmares frequently. I don't know what to do to prevent staying alone. I have difficulty building a relationship with flatmates and feel like I don't know how to be with people. Why do I have difficulty building close relationships?

I believe that building friendships. Weds to be taken less seriously. And I know that's hard to do when you want friends so badly. But if you're being too serious about it, and needy, people will pick up on that and then the friendship starts looking like "work" to them. People don't have more time for work in their life. Especially in a new friendship. So my advice would be to start small. Laugh along with people and just enjoy their company. Don't put too much emphasis on being their forever friend, just enjoy the moment. And that will put people at ease.
