I am struggling more and more with being unable to find friends who have enough overlap with my current situation and life stage that I feel connected and able to be authentic.

I just end up worrying there isn’t anyone out there I can fully relate and be myself with. That then spirals into a ‘is it me? am I the problem?’ due to limited empathy within my immediate family.

Do I just need to shelve the idea I will have ‘proper’ friends rather than a series of people who I have fragmented shared interests and can only interact with about those things?

Idk. Maybe I’m just waffling here. Sorry. I just end up feeling very lonely sometimes.
