I can't figure out why no one wants to be my friend

How do I find out what I'm doing wrong? I'm in therapy, I am supportive and kind and give space and don't bug or beg. But no one will hang out with me. How do I figure this out?

Maybe you aren’t doing anything wrong 🤷‍♀️ some acquaintances don’t turn into long term friendships and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. If you’re having trouble meeting people, lots of libraries have activities for moms and young children and you could hang out with other moms there

@Victoria~ thank you, this is such a kind response. I have tried so many avenues to meet other people and a library never came up. What a great idea, thank you! 🩷

I think it's harder to make friends as adults. Sometimes we just get busy with our lives. However, you definitely would rather want to let people go then spend time trying to figure out "what's wrong with me". Sometimes people just suck and don't keep up to what they say. Find the friends that keep to their word and who make the effort to hang with you I'm always down to chatting and making new friends if you ever want to message me

It's actually really hard to find people who A. Are in the market for friends B. Have free time at all C. Have free time at the same time as you Most adults have established networks.

@Mequell definitely true. I haven't had a friend since I was in grade 10 and I am now 34 And it's not for a lack of trying. I'm Embarrassed of myself now. 🩷

@Ella makes sense

Same here I just give up now and learned to enjoy my own company. I’ve tried so many things

A lot of people are too exhausted with their lives or still balancing motherhood, work, or any stress so they don’t feel like making new friends. Like I’m exhausted and barely get sleep. So I don’t want to make new friends because I feel like I would not have time for them. And I don’t want to neglect my friends and make them feel unwanted. It’s definitely not you. You’re not the problem.

You are not doing anything wrong. I find this too even on this app everyone says they want to make friends but most people don't reply or ignore after a few messages. It will happen don't force it and good luck

It’s probably not your fault. I have a friend now, we bonded over being mothers, but for years my only friends were my mum, brother, my brother’s girlfriend and my partner 😅 even now my partner is my best friend above everyone else lmao
