First off I want to say Blues response is spot on. Across the board as always !

As for “ relationship trouble “ I will bet 8 out of 10 people with ANY mental illness has trouble with friendships, it’s for a lot of reason like our own self esteem, social anxiety, often we can’t follow through with plans, it’s also difficult to “ spread our attention “ across a group of people, it becomes overwhelming and it’s easy to kind of latch onto one or two people more than others.

I’ve had groups of work friends years ago we would all go out after work pretty often. One of my coworkers just kind stayed right on my hip... it just got really uncomfortable, I did think she was obsessive.. I’m sure at the time I thought she was “ crazy” or “ weird” I’m guessing I started paying her less attention..

Now ? I can look back and see she had mental health problems. I really wish I had helped her, but I was undiagnosed BP and spent months Hypo/Mania back then.

Relationships are hard to maintain for all kinds of reasons.

As for “ age” many younger people struggle to find the “ pecking order “ in a group of friends. Although it can happy at any age.

I don’t know if that would apply to you as I don’t know your age

I hope this helps
