I Think Loneliness Is Painful I sometimes wish nobody had friends because then I wouldn't feel...

In this day and age, friends are hard to keep. We live in the age of social media, so finding that personal connection is 10 times harder. I used to feel the same way when I was younger, but as I have gotten older I have learned that having lots of friends isn't everything. I'd rather have a few close friends than a bunch of ones. You're at a hard time in your life, but it'll get better. You just have to let it come naturally and not force it.

hi Katymgroo
Wow that is complicated. Friends are hard to find and keep. Acquaintances depend on context like the games but these can become friends also. I guess you should not write off acquaintances just because it is a game. All acquaintances are like that - if you meet them at school or work or socially. These are the pools where you find friends I guess.
You sound fine btw. You cannot force friendships just be open to them developing.
Friendships are not time defined and can be brief or long standing. You just cannot tell ahead of time.
Don't feel bad.
Best wishes
:)
