I know people often say that manifesting friendships is one of the easiest things, but I’ve been genuinely struggling… and I’m tired.

I moved to the UK in my late 20s, stepping out of my comfort zone, and during my time there I built some really close connections while pursuing higher studies.

But over time, those friendships slowly started to fade. I began to feel ignored and left out, yet I didn’t want to come across as desperate.

Deep down, I was craving meaningful connections. friends I could share my life with, laugh with, and truly enjoy moments with. But eventually, I made peace with the idea that all I really had was myself.

Today, I noticed that two of them have blocked me, and for a moment, it completely shattered me.

I can’t even fully blame them, because I was the one who distanced myself to protect my peace. At the time, I trusted my instincts and because I wasn’t sure of their intent towards me. I still feel they talk at my back but… okay…

Life then bought me back to my home country. I don’t have many friends here, but I’m somehow surviving.

I feel stuck. Like I don’t belong anywhere.

There was a time when life felt like it was finally falling into place, and now it feels like I’ve hit my lowest point. I feel alone.

I’ve always been a fun, bubbly, all-heart kind of person, but lately it feels like I’ve lost that spark. Somewhere inside, I feel deeply hurt and betrayed.

Can someone help me understand how to shift my perspective on friendships after going through something like this?

How can I build new friendships naturally to drop the baggage of the older ones?

I’d appreciate any kind of help at the point. Please. 🙏
