Hi Tara,

I think I do let people pick me as their friend a lot. Mainly because I find it difficult to approach first or to appear “too invested” in a friendship. I have this belief that everyone has a best friend already or a partner and don’t need me.

hi Inky,

i do have friends in other ages but they are more like my older advisor friends. I guess I just wish there were some my age who understands and reflects my life experience.

hi Anita,

I think I do believe them a lot more than I let on. I guess I never saw the link as clearly until you pointed it out. I also have a hard time getting along with people because I believe I’m hard to get along with (sometimes rough and too upfront, not very open, moody). It’s almost a blessing when someone likes me enough to talk to me more than once. Every day my parents remind me how hard I am to get along with and that It’s no wonder I have no friends or lasting relationship. It’s almost like I believe their words so much I self sabotage myself and don’t think I could be truly lovable. My parents always say that the person who will date you will just have to not really care about your feelings because you are so moody and hard to talk to.
