Hi Reina,

My advice would be to enjoy your own company and see others company as a bonus. For example, if you want to see a film, ask friends to go with you, if they aren’t interested go and see the film regardless. However, sometimes they may be interested.

I have been in the same boat and currently I am struggling to socialise/make friends, all I know is that if I show an interest in something or try to start topics that others would  be interested in I make friends. The key is to lower or have no expectations, because expectations ruin experiences.

The irony is that when you start focusing on yourself you will attract the right people into your life, the people who want to meet for a coffee etc.

If it becomes an issue talk to your friends about how you feel like you don’t hang out a lot and how you would like to spend more time together, or you could tell this to your younger sisters.

Our friendships change as you go through life so just try and spend time with people when you can and appreciate it for what it is. If you do that you may look back on, lets say 2019, and realise how much you did actually hang out with people.

I apologise if this was a massive ramble.
