I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.
Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?
You don’t. For what I’ve seen is something people are born with it, the perk to make friends in every situation… my younger brother have dozens of friends, actual friends, I have 0. I just live with it.
That’s how I’ve always felt. I’ve always been the friend of those people. I’ve only ever made 1 actual, deep connection with a person. And it’s deeeeep. And I couldn’t tell you how it happened. But I partly feel like I’m losing that, and I won’t ever be able to get it back, or replicate it with someone else.
