My boyfriend also pointed out to me last night that I don’t have much luck with friends and he doesn’t understand why, he’s right.
I can think of 2 close friends I have and even then I see them less than once per month. One of them is a very easy going guy who’s always out and about and happy for anyone to come along.
The other is a lady in her 40s (I’m 30) who’s been a great friend for years, but even sometimes when I’m meeting her she seems a little flat, as if she’s annoyed or bored. She’s also like that in texting though so it may just be how she is.
People seem to like me as in they think I’m nice and kind, but I think I just lack the charisma it takes to make them want a friendship. Left a job this week and one girl asked for my social media details which was nice.
I’m introverted, have my partner and family and keep busy with my job and hobbies. Usually try to pretend I don’t care but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
There’s a group of girls I went to high school with. We probably meet a couple of times a year but the last time it just wasn’t enjoyable at all. Out of the 5 of them, not one of them asked me anything about myself with the exception of one at the very end. One girl kept asking about my boyfriend though and telling me to bring him which is nice, but makes me think either she fancies him or just finds him more interesting than me. I don’t think I’ll meet up with them again, hardly see them anyway.
Anyone else feel like this? I just feel embarrassed. My partner took a nice photo of me yesterday so I put it on social media, and none of these friends liked it. I know I’m being petty, but I feel if it were one of theirs they’d be all over it like “Oh wow you look stunning.”
Not sure what to do.
