Last year, I distanced myself from the last part of my family I still had contact with, which were my uncles.
It was incredibly painful when I realized their role as enablers. The process wasn't easy; they sent several people after me trying to make me feel guilty.
However, I was in a relationship with someone and we lived together for a year. But we recently separated, and that has been difficult for me.
I have few friends, most of them married. The feeling of loneliness has been overwhelming lately.
I'm afraid I won't be able to make new friends because I'm older (I'm 35 years old).
I signed up for volunteer work to help with stray dogs; I'll be working with them in a few days. I'm hoping to meet new people and also help a cause that I support it.
But I would like advice and tips on how to deal with this loneliness. It has been particularly painful since my breakup and separation.
The feeling that my narcissistic parents managed to poison the entire family foundation, leaving me without support.
And I'm afraid I won't be able to build new friendships in today's world.
