Hey, I’m 17 years old, and since I was 13 I’ve been trying to make friends. I watch YouTube videos and try to learn how to ask questions and talk to people, but I forget most of what I see. I have about three real friends; the rest are just acquaintances. I don’t have severe social anxiety, but I struggle to build relationships—you could say I’m socially lazy. Even though my dream is to have friends like everyone around me, I just don’t know how. It feels like it’s all about luck. I also don’t really understand myself—what I like or dislike. I want a solution: where should I start, and how can I learn to love myself?
