How do I fit in

I am at a point in my life where I am struggling to fit in with family that I have left. I was raised by my grandma. Where she went I went. It was only ever me and her. Now, I don’t have that anymore and I’m struggling to find where I belong. I don’t have the unwavering love and “drop everything” type of relationship with anyone else. I’ve tried. But I’m just an afterthought when building my relationships that I want so badly with my family. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Don't look to replace that, your grandma gave you her most. Like she loved you sooo much.
Try figure out who you are away from her. As for people go with the flow.
Lower your expectations a few notches.
People can be amazing but not when they jumping through immeasurable hoops.

Parental love is different to the love we find in others.

Good luck! This is an exciting chapter.
