And/Or when you actually meet people who want to be your friend, you doubt their reasons… “Why they want to be my friend? What’s so good about me? Don’t they have better friends to turn to? etc”
Checks text messages and voice mail. After removing family, boss, and doctors the last message was 5 months ago. It’s probably best for everyone involved.
I’ve thought this many times, but now I see that those “friendships” were really just in place to feed my codependent needs. These days I am mostly alone, but the plan is to reintroduce the right kind of friends slowly, one by one.
What’s funny is it hadn’t occurred to me that I’m not the only person in the world with no friends. So many of us crawling over this poor planet. Why is it so difficult to make a real connection. At least on this website, we can all be alone together.

“Fading from everybody’s life” – wow, that sums me up. Lost all my friends years ago. They’re better off without me.

“Potato Star” and “Star Estates” — Is the star motif intentional?
depression comix says
I use “Star” for branding because it sounds like a real brand but isn’t. It’s my version of “Acme”.
Geraldine Hughes says
I’m sure in your case it’s the former

To be fair a glass of wine and a bag of potato chips isn’t the worst life

I deleated Facebook today. I realized no one had reached out to me, called me or messaged me in over a month.
