I have been dropped by my family as well. It is very hard to make new friends.

One thing I have learned is that it isn't me. Family is getting really messed up in this society. I think it is because manners have gone out the window and if you have a toxic family member (or a few) they will just do what thy want and don't even have the concern that they would for a stranger. There are some threads on "Reddit" about entitled people and there are just SO MANY FAMILY members that are toxic.

My goal is to make one good friend every year.
