I think many people can relate to the feeling of struggling to form and maintain friendships @fahmida45. I know I can sometimes find this difficult, particularly making friends.
Do you think there's something in particular that makes it difficult for you to make and maintain friendships (if this is something you struggle with)? -
I struggle with making friends because I don’t go out to social activities and pubs and such and so don’t meet many new people, and even when I do meet new people I am too scared to say anything!
I also struggle with maintaining friendships because I struggle to do any social activities with friends. Plus, a lot of the time I like to be left alone, which doesn’t lend itself to being a great friend!! -

I made friends since I return to my local creative writing class, I really struggling to make friends because since covid 19 hit. I have truly lost my confidence in going out and did feel like going out as feel scared.
