I don’t even know how to date or make friends and don’t even feel up to trying for much the same reasons. I got sort of dated (online) by a friend who then dumped me in like the first year of highschool without warning or reason, then ghosted me, and then my friend group slowly disintegrated. Probably need a bit of therapy for that, not sure why that in particular hit as hard as it did but it sucked the life out of highschool for me.
If nothing else i can tell ya you’re not alone on that front at least. Late 20s, woooooo…
I’d certainly recommend therapy for that. Therapy has helped me move past quite a few ‘specific’ traumas. Regrettable habits like feeling suicidal at the drop of a hat have proven harder to break in the long term.
This is probably shit advice but if you want to make friends you need to be in an environment where 1. you’re interacting with other people (ideally in a physical space) and 2. what you’re doing is making you happy somehow. If you’re not in the habit of either 1. or 2., I imagine that’s petrifying and sadly it’ll probably just require some perseverance.
