Friends

[pinkraven]

I realized I don't really have any friends...

I have a small group from my hometown, but my ex at college messaged some of them behind my back and made them not want to talk to me anymore (and made me doubt their loyalty too...)

When I first got to my new college, I made a lot of new friends easily but then my boyfriend dominated all of my time...

I realized I was becoming isolated but I guess I didn't do anything about it...

Even worse I introduced him to a lot of the new people I was meeting...he made me feel guilty about going to club meetings without him, and such...and then partly due to him, my reputation with all of these people started going downhill.

He just broke up with me...and I know I am going to be all alone... :C

The people at my school are very introverted and hard to talk to...I was very outgoing before but this experience with my ex has killed my spirit. I know it's going to be harder to meet people now, I am so depressed. 

any words of encouragement please:'( I am dreading having to go back.

I know how you feel (at least I think I do.) I am not in college yet (actually I am in eighth grade) but I know people who have been (and I have been) used like you have been. For now I would focus on small pleasures (if you've seen Amelie you'll know what i mean) and try to do at least 2 things a day that you really want to. Try to talk to people... go back to your clubs and explain what happened. It will not be easy, but it is better than nothing. Keep your head out of the water... try to be cheerful. You're free of your ex now.

@ahseyia: another good point, you gotta love yourself and love what your doing before you can make any friends...thank you too dear it means a lot <3
