Wait, do I not have any friends?

Family & Social Life

Does anyone else feel like they have trouble keeping friends? Or realize that you feel more strongly about someone than they do? I know it's probably just the millennial loneliness epidemic but it feels like ADHD and rejection sensitivity plays a role in it.

I'm friendly with lots of people but only closer with a four girlfriends...or at least I thought I was. I reach out but never hear back and I'm starting to wonder if I should just drop it entirely. I got engaged and I would like to tell them, but they don't even answer my texts. I guess the rejection sensitivity is hitting hard right now. I feel like maybe I've failed at cultivating friendships and need to start over from scratch.

How do you make sure you maintain and nurture friendships when you feel like you can barely keep up with life? Have you also struggled with this?
