Hello friends,

With bpd, I'm finding it hard to put myself out there and make new friends. Since I dropped out of college, I don't talk to any of those people anymore. After a few bad relationships, I moved back near where I grew up. Moving back to my hometown is lonely and I just can't seem to get out there and make any new friends or find someone to talk to. Going to bars isn't really my thing, I'm not big into the church thing, and people at work seem to be all cliqued up already. I'm just struggling to find young people my age to talk to. I'm also afraid that I'll start scaring people away with my emotional stuff. It's happened before and it hurts. What have others found helpful in finding friends and navigating through the swings of bpd?
