I can't make meaningful relationships with friends.

Same here.. had a big group of friends in highschool but I always felt like the third wheel and that everyone else enjoyed each others company more. I cut contact completely a few years into college. After that I heard through thrid parties that they were asking for me, that they missed me etc... which is strange because I never felt like they cared if I was there or not.

OP if you can find a way to fix this: do it or look for help. I'm currently left with no friends at all. I mean I've always been very introverted so it doesn't bother me as much but does get lonely at times. Not to mention the social stigma that comes with having little to no friends... doesnt really help with the girls either.

This sounds exactly like me.

Wish I would have kept in contact with them

They show concern towards my mental state, my insecurities, my obsessive behavior, they share memes with me and interact with me, but I always feel like I'm an extra.

I want to keep contact too, I love them, but I'm going to college and I'm only gonna have 2 friends there at best, which is horrible because I can't socialize alone and those guys don't hang out with me a lot.

>develop actual close friendships with people
>they get a fucking gf and I never hear from them again

Every fucking time. Now I'm stuck hanging out with people I don't even relate to. Iktf

>No close friendships
>Barely any superficial friends left

It's too late for me.

That's honestly my biggest fear

been a loner most of my life, my last friend i had was when i was 14 past that i never really bothered with friendships and online i can barely keep them its pretty pointless i act kind anyway

i think it's because you don't actually have common interests with them anymore or their interests are changing or yours are in the process of changing.

this happened with my friends. at first we all liked the same type of music and liked the sames things in general.
then as we got older, they started listening to more and more rap, being more and more concerned with drugs and money and women.

it felt like my friends started to value superficial shit more than they valued actual friendships. i just stopped talking to them one day.
i can't help what they're interested in, i can only move on and find people who share my interests.
it's sad, but time and nostalgia isn't enough to keep me friends with them, what i mean is, knowing them for 8 years and having the school history isn't enough to keep them my friend and i have to actually like them still.

I can't even properly make friends, the problem is in me.

Yeah. It's not great. I like solitude so it doesn't really worry me but as that guy earlier said it does get lonely and the social stigma of not having friends sucks.

I'd like close and meaningful friendships with people I have things in common with but realistically it's just not gonna happen at this age. People are suspicious of people that don't have friends and people my age generally have their own circles or are in a relationship and do things with other couples or parents whose kids are friends.
