I just want good friends

Throughout my life every friendship I’ve had so far either ended or I was replaced. I keep asking myself what’s wrong with me? Am I dry and boring? Am I not funny enough? What’s so good about her that you left me? It’s come down to whenever I say something I need it to be funny so this person stays with me, this feeling is really exhausting and I don’t know how to make it stop.

If you have to live up to some standard to always be funny, these probably aren't true freinds. I always categorize people in my life into the 3 categories (may be an over simplification).

-People that are so problematic that I need to stay away from.

-People I can hang out with and have fun with, but can't trust to be supportive with personal informations

-True friends that have my back just as much as I have thiers. True personal connections.

I find the 3rd category to be quite rare, so don't expect this circle to be quite larger than a few people.
