I am starting to have paranoid thoughts about my new friends. Why does this happen? This is exactly why my past friendships ended. I get paranoid and accuse people or something bad and end the friendship.
Are you able to keep friends long term?

About 8 or 9 years is the maximum for keeping friends for me. Maybe I’ll break that record.

Must be some vibe I give off where people don’t tend to like me

Man, that’s awful. Sorry to hear that @Moonbeam.
For what it’s worth, I wish I had known you fifty years ago.

All my friends I’ve known for a very long time.
I’m very loyal but don’t easily make new friends.

My record is 19 years but I barely ever see that friend. After that 7 years and my current best friend I’ve known for 5 years.

My best friend I’ve known since 8th grade and we’re almost 40.
My oldest friend and I (that I’m still in contact with),
I’ve known since I was a few months old.
My other closest friend I’ve known for about 7ish years?
I think I’m capable of long term friendship.
But only with a very few.

I have been friends with one of my friends since 1997, another since 2010, and was friends for 10 years with another friend but I recently ended that friendship because it was a very unhealthy relationship.
About twice a year I talk to friends from school that I’ve known since 1991.

I have many friends that I’ve known for 10+ years. Most of my closest friends I’ve known for a long time.

I had a great friend for years.
He came to my wedding and all of my friend’s weddings…I got him into a great paying job where I worked…I got him to play in the same baseball league I was in.
Then, just like that he ghosted me. I think it was because I had the young twins at the time and couldn’t spend as much time with him. He had no kids and probably couldn’t understand the blood sweat and tears of raising kids.
If we ever meet again, I’m going to slap him in the face really hard.

I don’t know if this counts but I had this one friend in the 1980’s. We lost touch in 1988 but I ran into him again in a day program in 1998 and we picked up where we had left off but got separated again. So we were friends for kinda 15 years.
I don’t really have friends.
Maybe some were “shallow” and only wanted successful friends with fancy careers and “perfect lives”….
They ghosted me because I don’t work.
I had voices say they were actors pretending or getting paid to pretend and no e of them really loved me and some were army doing evil to me and sex with my man and trying to bring me down.
I don’t want friends who are jealous of me or try compete with me.we are unique and should love and support each other.
I have a x boyfriend I talk with on phone once a fortnight.
He doesn’t have internet.
That’s about it .
I have two other x and a chick I email once a year to say merry Christmas.
I tried joining a pen pal site but they all ghosted me when they found out I don’t work.
Maybe i should try making friends with others who don’t work either but i don’t want to be involved in drama of drugs n crime now.
Where would I meet them.
Free meal place or so.
