Welcome to PsychCentral. You came to the right place. I used to have difficulty with making friends. I learned how to make friends in support groups. You can learn to make friends in a safe environment by joining one. Healthy relationships involve communication, and you can learn from other people who had similar struggles in a support group. You can also learn from other people in the Relationships and Communication topic. Patience is not easy, but jumping into another relationship could be risky at this point.
