[sherylstarr]

heya!
my name is sheryl n i am 23 years old medical student.i know this is the problem which maybe only school kids face and not to-be doctors,but here i am...
i have always felt the need for a few more close friends in my life..until now i have three but all of em livin in other cities for higher studies..and all of them have their own busy lives and there are times i wish i had someone with a different perspective to talk to..for me to call my day a 'good' day i need people whom i can truly communicate with,not just random chitchat
so when i do meet new people i think,'hey! Heres new best/close friend!' and i do realise that its not the same for the other person..i mean most of em arent even thinking of new friendships..so eventually their lacklustre response to my eagerness makes me feel like a fool n also real disappointed to the point of shedding a few tears
i am in a serious long distance relationship and many atimes i feel even m bf misunderstands me..it makes me feel sad and lonely..
is it just a myth that other people can truly understand you? Are people who claim of having best friends/soulmates all liars?
or am i deficient somewhere and incapable?

Hello sherylstarr and welcome to PC. Congrats on your choice of career! How's that going? Maybe you are trying to hard and scaring people away? You do have close friends, how did you first meet them? It's kind of random I think whether you run into someone that clicks with you or not. People that are shy or even just tired from busy lives might find too much energy a little overwhelming. Not everyone is an extrovert. People do find soulmates sometimes, keep looking!

I'm a very intense person and something of an acquired taste. I don't make friends easily, but I keep the ones I've got.

i'm always up for a chat.

probably not the most exciting person to talk to, but i don't mind talking if you want...
