I don't know what is wrong with me in making friends
All I know is that something inside me is broken because of a past friendship. I think everything will be broken inturn specially friendships 😞

@GanglandCriminal97 Then you and I have different ways of making friends and being friends.
If I find someone boring (talks endlessly about trivia) I will be polite whenever I bump into them, but I won't form a friendship with them.

@hartfire sadly, i take whatever i can get. I even made friends with a schizophrenic guy who talked about eating people. Only reason was sometimes he acted normal and he enjoys working out. However, my other buddy wont talk to him anymore because he's "too crazy".
Only thing i dont like about him is when he acts crazy in public. I just worry about him getting us kicked out of businesses.

@GanglandCriminal97 Hmm, I think I understand.
Most schizos are harmless and need friendship just as much as the rest of us.
Maybe you could take a raincheck when you see the early signs that he's heading into an episode.
You could also tell him how you feel when he's in a normal phase.
Some are resistant to taking their antipsychotic meds. Might be worth a chat to see how he feels about them.
Some do better in certain types of jobs, like gardening - something which can be soothing.

@hartfire hes only into working out. Hes a black guy but hes very interested in Greek culture. He even gave himself a greek name but for the life of me i could never remember it.
I know how to cook a lot of greek and Mediterranean food so we have that in common.
He mostly only acts weird around sunset. Before and a couple hours after he is fine.
He stopped taking his meds a while ago. Idk if it's my place to tell him what to do with his life though.

@GanglandCriminal97 Definitely it's his choice what he does with his life. I'm sorry about the way I worded that; didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Sounds like he's fine as a mate to work out with and maybe share a coffee, Greek food and chat with at the right times of day.
If you feel you need more, different or deeper friendships, do you have other interests which could help you meet more people?
