friends

I've been a loner all my life, a person who never felt like they belonged anywhere. I was never a part of a cliche. People pushed me aside, forgot about me, you name it. I probably just couldn't connect because people constantly put me down as I've said. For some reason, I was shamed for being too quiet.

I've analyzed for years why people didn't care to be my friend. I see all this advice about how to mold yourself to be more likeable, I even saw this guy who threw out online advice about how to be popular and how introverts like me are losers. Honestly the advice he gave was very shallow. Pretend you have friends to get them. Pretend you're someone you're not.

I think the best way to get meaningful friendships is to forget the advice online and try to do healthy things for you. Focus on getting better, and the friends will come. Even if not, you can have peace knowing that it's better to be alone to be with people who make you feel more alone.
