@dannyxtorres: Let me explain: I’ve never really been a person who’s been great at making friends and I’ve never had a large friend group. Of course I’ve had friends throughout my life, but most of the time, i felt misunderstood by these people. I do have a couple (literally like 2 lol) people in my life I can call friends, but you know, as you get older, you see them less and less. The idea of making new friends pops into my head every once in a while, but it’s tough cuz the only way it’s ever worked for me is if we share a super hyper specific interest, otherwise the friendship just never evolves, and tbh I won’t want it to (i’ve got 2 maaayybeee 3 hyper specific interests and if someone doesn’t have at least one of them, it’s just really hard to connect), and I don’t feel bad about that all though cuz otherwise what’s the point of being friends with someone who you don’t connect with. Another thing, I’ll mention is that ever since I got sober, I don’t feel the need to just make friends for the sake of it. If I’m going to build friendships I want them to be close and meaningful. In NYC a lot of people my age are interested in nightlife, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just something that I kind of lost interest in when I quit booze. Sometimes I do want to try going out, but being social in general isn’t easy for me. I’m trying to get better at it. It’s a work in progress and I’m trying my best to go easy on myself. I know that being alone and feeling lonely are two completely different things. Usually people feel sad because they’re lonely, but for me it’s more that I feel sad that I’m alone. Idk, I just didn’t think it would be this way at this age. I don’t even know if I’m making sense anymore lol anyway can you relate at all to how I feel? - - - - - hi!! i’m danny, a 30 year old living in Brooklyn, NYC sharing raw, real, and relatable insights from my mental health journey while trying to find joy along the way 🫶🏼 #mentalhealthjourney #nyc #newyorkcity #selflove #30yearsold mental health advocate | personal growth | mindset | lifestyle | new york city
