I can't believe this has happened, it's so strange. I had 3 separate groups of friends, each made up of myself and 2 others. (So 3 groups of 3).
In the last year one person has extracted themselves from each group.
Group 1-the other 2 have fallen out
Group 2 and 3- one person has ghosted the group chat/meet up plans.
This has left me with 4 individual friends. On top of this I've been diagnosed with a voice disorder which makes 1 on 1 conversation incredibly difficult. I can manage in a group (even a small group of 3) as it gives me time to rest between sentences.
I basically feel like I've lost all my friendships. Combining the individual friends wouldn't work. I dont know why I'm posting really, just feeling sad and anxious about it all I suppose. I dont know how to maintain these friendships on my own with these vocal issues. I'm gutted the groups have collapsed at a time when I needed them most.
Anyone been through similar? I'll just have to focus on my family, pets, home life which I'm very lucky to have.
