Dear charles26,

My goodness, how I see myself in you! I had the same problem too months ago, when my social circle had been reduced to that one friend who says I am very unique. It’s difficult for me to connect to other people, especially when I find what they do or talk about boring.

It was my friend who woke me up that the only thing blocking my way from getting friends was my self. I was too scared of being rejected, and automatically assumed I would get bored because I was too different, that I didn’t bother to try. At least, not as hard as I could’ve.

I tried doing new things, see what I like to do, and fond other people who like the same things. I got into Yoga, and as a beginner, I was able to open up a conversation with someone who had been practicing for a long time. I didn’t get bored, because it was something I was interested in.

The friends who you want are out there, you just gotta look for them in the right places. And it is important to be open to new experiences, as these are the keys to finding new social circles. You just gotta get out more to places you enjoy! You might find it easier to find friends who enjoy the same things you do. Good luck Charles! Stay positive!
