You must put yourself out there! You cannot stay in "victim" mode and self pity. As we mature our self confidence goes up and we don't worry so much about what others think and say about us. I know this is challenging when you are younger but you must tell yourself that you are worthy of great friendships and you have a lot to offer someone. I used to think no one like me when I was high school so I became the NICE girl to fit in and have everyone like me. As I matured I found it hard to say no to people, so I became the PEOPLE PLEASER. This drains you and leaves you feeling exhausted and unappreciated. Just be yourself (and if you don't really know who that person is) than start to join some groups. Groups with things that interest you and light you up! You will start to make connections with people that have similar interests as you and spark friendships from that! When my husband and I got married and only had single friends with no kids, we decided we needed to make new friends so we could do things with other families and our kids formed friendships. Some of them I have nothing in common with other than our kids and that's ok, cause I have another group of friends that I do other things with. Does that makes sense?
