Hey, /adv/, I need some opinions.
My whole life I've struggled with friendships. Not in making friends, but with maintaining them. I feel like most of them are quite shallow, like we never really have a deep connection.
The one friendship that is really deep is with my gf. But pretty much all of my other friendships will just fade over time and we both won't think nothing of it. Its just seems really sad that I have a phone full of contacts I never really talk to anymore
And its not like I don't want to talk to people. I love hearing new opinions and different points of view or about different interests. People really interest me. When I bring this up, my gf gets sad because she feels she's not doing enough for me. She is though, I just want to meet new people too. Or at least make friends that I can have deep conversations with.
Any advice? Do you think its me, the people around me or something more? Thank you in advance

It's normal for friendships to fade over time sadly. Instead of focusing on what you've lost, look for activities you enjoy doing in your community and join in. That's a great way to make new friends.

Thank you. I mean, i have friends. But we don't really talk to them outside of school / clubs we're in. I can be totally different inside and outside of school

Ah I see. Have you reached out to these friends?

What do you mean by reach out?
>>
>>17996412
Have you tried contacting them and asking to hang out, asking how things are and why you've not all hung out in a while? Sometimes people just get really busy.

Do you think that asking to hang out after not hanging out in a really long time would be awkward?
>in b4 its only awkward if you make it awkward

Personally, I don't think it's awkward or word at all to ask even if it's been a long time. If they're truly a good friend, they'd be up for it. Why do you ask if it'd be weird? Do you believe that these friends wouldn't want to hang out with you because of time?

Its probably just a mental thing I have. Maybe im scared of them refusing.
How should I ask them though?
>>

Maybe you are. I don't know you so I can't say so with certainty. And you can ask them saying something like, "hey it's been awhile, wanna hang out on ---- day and do ---?"
