Thank you Anita,

Yes, you’re right. Surely as I was younger I had this fear of not finding true friends, even though I had some good friends. So maybe it’s just a sort of fear, that doesn’t really match with reality. I actually tried to get in touch with some friends in my hometown I lost contact with but, even though they seem very including, they already have their own group of friends and it’s really difficult to be or feel included when they get out and invite me. Maybe I should just be a little more patient about that. Unfortunately after a bad break up I lost many mutual friends from high school. I’m sure that these were not very close friendships and I’m determined of finding just a few good friends for me. But sometimes it just feels so difficult: I come back from college in my hometown and feel I have no-one to go out with, because everyone has its own group of friends.
