Hello, I am struggling with my selfworth and always think that nobody likes me. My therapist suggested that i ask around how often others interact with friends because she thinks that my belief of how often that is is very wrong. i am not so sure of that, so lets see:

How often do you see friends? How often do you get contacted by them without contacting them first? Are you satisfied with that? What are interactions like? Are you missing something? Do you think the amount has anything to do with you?

Thank you for answering (:

I moved to a new state a month ago, and I haven't made any new friends yet. Before, I had weekly scheduled hangouts. I usually always contact my friends first, but sometimes someone will send me a meme without warning. Usually, I text people a dad joke, and I talk to them about stuff. My only complaint is that I don't see anyone anymore because I live in a new state. I want to start weekly board game nights back up. The more I reach out to my friends, the more they connect with me.
