No friends because I set boundaries...now what?

Support (Advice welcome)

I'm going into my senior year of college with like one friend. But I don't get to see her often because I don't have a car and she lives in the next town over.

But junior year of college was filled with me cutting off relationships with people that treated me like a therapist or a resource to just use. And honestly these relationships happened because I had no boundaries and trauma (I may be generalizing tell me if I'm wrong) forces you to grow up a lot faster. So I'm "21"...but not really LMFAO... It felt like these people were coming to me for advice and wisdom and I give really good advice and wisdom because this is what I was expected to do since I was a kid. But I would get no emotional reciprocity for many of these people so I cut them all off 🤪🤪🤪

Anyways the school year is starting in a few weeks I'm coming into this year and I'm realizing I actually don't have any friends. And friends is not something that I have ever struggled with. I usually always have a friend, i like to believe I'm a very likable person. But now I'm like okay I cut off everybody there are a lot of people on my campus who hate me because I started to set boundaries and I don't know how to navigate this new space. Should I just isolate in my apartment (I know that's not the answer I'm catastrophizing).

Anyways help!💃🏾✨
