I don't want to make friends anymore.

I've had a lot of friends stab me in the back or use me in some way. And these were people that I really cared about, and thought of them as family. It's happened more than once and now i just don't feel like getting close to anyone again. It makes me really depressed because I feel stupid for putting my trust in them. And now I've become really antisocial and don't talk to anyone anymore. I don't like being alone but I just don't see the point in having a friend i guess..

    There's good and bad in everyone and in this life you have to accept people as they are, including their flaws. No ones perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Stay cautious, but try not to push everyone away ..

  • I felt that way for a long time, but eventually if your lucky, you will meet someone and you will just click, you'll have the same the humor and the conversations never get boring you can be strait up with them and they can with you. You will want to spend a lot of time hanging out or talking to them and they will be okay with all your weirdness. For once you will actually care about there opinion and not like on a dress but for life changing decisions you can always count on that person.Even if you guys don't talk for a month you know your still best of friends.

    This sounds normal to some extent since you've had bad experiences with friends. Being more guarded is a natural reaction to that. But if you feel this way for longer than a year or so it gradually becomes less normal since the healthy thing would be to eventually get over your bad experiences and start making new friends.
