So relatable! I’ve always felt at the social periphery too and have so often felt like probably even my friends didn’t like me. I’ve craved a best friend relationship like Meredith and Christina (Grey’s Anatomy), Monica and Rachel (Friends) or like Dolly Alderton writes about in ‘Everything I know about love’. And I’ve wished for a strong, fun and warm friendship group, that feels like a family. A part of me still believes it’s possible. Perhaps even more so now that I’m a bit older (30) and have found out that I’m autistic. And it actually is getting better. Either way, let’s hope that both you, me and everyone else who feels like this, finds their people and their way of being and having friends 🧡
Yes I can absolutely relate to craving female friendships like I saw modelled on TV and in books. But also agree that as I'm getting older and learning more about myself I'm finding more meaningful friendships with people who are like me and 'get me'.
