this may be a typical "how to find friends" post with a side of rant.
id love to hear advice or just experiences from other people even if it could only offer slight hope at this point :')
im someone who doesnt typically find it hard to strike up conversations as im definitely extroverted. freshman year i've made and shuffled through several friends who are nice and some that are just straight up the wrong people.
ive dipped out on male friends who turn out to be creeps (w/ hidden motives) despite having great friendships with them on the outside. another friend was someone i used to be close with who turned out to not click with me. this person is still in my life trying to use me for the friends i already have because i have a knack of being able to actually talk to people. they have gone to a point where they've tried to pit someone im friends with against me for i dont even know what reason.
skipping out on context so people i know dont find this post, but this guy is going to be a constant presence in my college life whether i like it or not
i actually want to make friends but constantly attracting people like these and having friends who dont stick out for more than half a quarter is so draining. i make effort to actually invite people or groups of people to do things together. i feel so hopeless in terms of finding a group of people i can stick with though i dont doubt there are wonderful people here. it makes me wonder if im also the problem.
