Sometimes I wish I had a larger social circle

I guess I should be grateful for the few close friends I have who have been there for years, but sometimes I wish I had more people in my life. It’s so easy for me to go days without talking to anyone. I’ve tried to change that…but there a lot of things holding me back. And it seems like people quickly lose interest in being my friend. I find it hard to maintain friendships and give people a reason to stick around.

Online friendships often don’t help because online people tend to be very unreliable. They will message me after a three week silence as if nothing happened. That kind of unpredictability isn’t what I want either.
