Who to blame? im lonely.

i really want a best friend. i used to have a best friend who treated me like sh*t and i ended the friendship like 2 yrs ago. she had a very A type personality and i was more shy and timid. the whole time we were friends everywhere we went she would chat up people
& be really social and i would get ignored because i diddnt talk much. boys would pay more attention to her and she would make lots of female friends.
i think that all that time i spent with her caused my social skills to become almost non exsistant.
now that i am not friends with her anymore i dont have anyone to lean on to socalize. i feel helpless and clueless. and almost like im not worthy of having a real friendship. the thing is, im really lonely. i crave a friendship really bad. i actually dont have any close friens, let alone a best friend.

i do have a boyfriend who is wonderful and very supportive but he is a man, lol and sometimes i jsut want some female companionship.
is this a normal situation???

    Some people have to work harder at making friends than other people. You might be one of those people who has to work extra hard to get to know others. You might have to put some work into the process of finding new friends. Keep and open mind, and good luck!

    Hey....dont worry i have gone through this. It's terrible whatever others say. And trying to be strong and confident is not as easy i know. I was a complete introvert until my bff came along. Know what try to be yourself with everyone never judge anyone and try to be a tad bit friendly and helpful. I know being friendly might be tough but believe me it isn't that bad. Never be mean or rude to anyone.

    Hope you get a great friend and don't forget you can always talk to me. Stay beautiful :)

    Challenge yourself, that’s the only way to break out of your shell

    Don't depend on any one person to much, it can get overwhelming and doesn't help your self-esteem

    It's abnormal to cling to blame as though that will solve anything.

    I was just like you after what my ex-bestfriend did to me I promised myself I wouldn't have a bestfriend again and after a year I meet this girl who soon became my BFF.Dont worry you will make a new bestfriend pretty soon just give it sometime.

  • Sure - ypu need to cultivate some friendships at school, work, wherever. Invite someone with possibilities out for dinner. Take the initiative.

    Sounds like you did the right thing with the former bestie -she was not much a a friend
