New Friends
| That I should just give up on this group of friends.
I even confided in them my problems because the topic came up and that's how close we use to be. Use to trust these dogs. My suicidal tendencies and my depression that I've been struggling with for the past couple of years.
Only one person responded to that and only gave what I think are generic responses.
After that, shit's still pretty much the same.
| Should I voice my concern? Voice that I'm not satisfied with how close we are now?
I dunno. I'm afraid of conflict. But what is there to lose? Some pseudo old friends that'll always be friends bullshit?
| Just move on, fam. I've been on both sides here. A friend whom I near used as a crutch began to drift away, so I would for a couple years afterwards try to re-engage in conversations but it really wasn't going anywhere. On the other side, I had someone do the same to me, and I know because they would always mention how grateful they are that I gave them a listening ear (exactly what I did). I feel a bit guilty completely moving on from Discord, but it wouldn't feel right going back
| See that brings another problem. How the fuck do I make new friends.
On the internet, I just feel like everyone's got their own cliques already and I've never been good at getting my foot in the door.
Originally, I met this group of friends because of this absolute bro that introduced me to them.
IRL, none of my co-workers share the same interests as me. Currently not taking classes so can't join a club or something
| Best thing is to join stuff like volunteer groups (there are some here in Canada for youths) and try to interact with people. Of course, there's the usual forcing yourself out of your comfort zone, but getting some friends irl makes it so much easier to keep in touch. You can join more specific hobby groups instead, which makes conversation easier but I'm personally afraid I'd get stuck staying only as hobby friends with them.

| Fuck I need a new group of friends.
I have Discord with these friends from High School and it was mostly inactive for a while. I would've spoken more, but I'm in a bad place.
Now, I don't even know if they noticed, but I'm trying to connect again. I've been trying to start conversations but no one really says shit or responds. I'm putting in the effort here, granted the effort I should've put long ago, but man I'm starting to think it won't go back to the way it is
