I cut my “best friend” off of 11 years this week. I have given her chance after chance to get better and she continued to treat me like shit. So I feel free from that, however my other best friend of 11 years stopped being friends with both me and the toxic friend just because I was still friends with her. I’m 20 and go to a community college and it’s been very hard for me to make friends even before the pandemic. I haven’t had any other friends outside them since hs and my hs friends honestly weren’t great to me either (we distanced, all of us) and of course I’ve looked at myself and considered myself to be the problem and blamed myself but even my therapist doesn’t think that’s true... but anyways. I’m here. Lonely af. Officially no friends. And the sad thing is I don’t know when I will have any. It could be months or years from now and I’m so focused on school... I have no idea if I will ever be happy with someone (like a vest or close friend) or even be in a relationship. Anyways this is what I’m going through and I’m feeling very alone

Hey, it's okay, you may feel truly alone now, but instead of focusing on that, maybe focus in the relief you feel now that you don't have that toxic figure in your life. It's hard to let go of friends, especially those that you've have for so long, but we let go of people for a reason. Soon you'll find people that will truly connect with you, now that you have the opportunity to spread your wings and make new friends that are good for you. It might seem impossible now since the pandemic, but try to stay positive. I'm a random stranger, and I'm rooting for you!! You'll find good people in your life, I promise you, please don't give up.

Hey, I am here for you and I'll be your friend, I've been too friendless for few years before so I know how are you feeling. Please let me know if you want to talk to me. And remember that, you are not alone.

We are all here for you during this tough time. I can be your friend if you want.

Thank you I really appreciate it 🥺

You should join random discord servers that have VCs and you might have a blast there. I sometimes drop in a call and make bits with randoms. I would do bits to play as a show host or a horrible therapist, and a lot of people would have a laugh at the dumb comedy we made together. I would just suggest going wild since you are open to new friends. Join servers, calls, groups, etc. join communities that fit you. ( this is just my idea. If it’s bad, then I am sorry)
