I'm sorry you're going through this. With recent changes in my life I've been distant with my friends, so while I feel alone it's mostly because I tend to disappear from other people's lives. This has always been the case, but now it feels more like a conscientious decision instead of one that just suddenly jappens. I tend to have the unrealistic habit of presenting myself to other people in a specific way, not wanting anyone to know what I'm going through. No one ever really gets to know me and it's both reassuring and lonely. I find connecting with people online helps. For some reason I can confide in strangers more than I can confide in people that i trust.

Making friends,whether new or not, is easier said than done. It happens when you're open to it, I suppose. An equally harder thing to accomplish is to try and fix the friendships you do have by being honest with the people close to you about who you are, what you need, and redefining what friendship means for both you and the people you love. These are things I struggle with but I have faith.

Best wishes to you
