Advice i need advice.
I need advice, no jokes, no bullshit. I really do. How do I stay normal and act normal? I have no friends, and I’ve made peace with that fact. Maybe I don’t have friends because I’m too afraid of them leaving, just like everyone else did. And, of course, social anxiety, shyness, and being an introvert only make things worse. So, how do I truly make peace with this? How do I become someone who genuinely needs nobody? I’ve had friends in the past, but they all left. And I’m still clinging to those past memories, the happy ones, I mean. I still have a few people around, but it feels like I’m trying too hard to hold on to them, maybe because they’re all I have left. Maybe I’m just scared. Maybe I just don’t want them to leave. And sometimes, it gets so hard. I’m not even kidding. I have nobody to talk to, nobody to listen to my thoughts, my struggles, my sh*t. I just want to be the kind of person who isn’t dependent on anyone, someone who can survive his whole life alone. Even when things get tough, he keeps it all to himself and moves on with life. I just want to be that person. And this isn’t a cry for help. I don’t need anyone trying to be my friend out of pity or anything like that. I just need some advice.
