Why is that? And I wonder how many people end up as kind of the "outgrown friend."

Maybe THEY are not good enough.

My friend told me today that I’m difficult to get along with and that my interests don’t appeal to most people, and most people actually find them boring.

For clarification, he wasn’t trying to be mean, and he doesn’t think those things about me himself. But that’s why other people have told him that they can’t be friends with me.

You know, “most people“ is just a saying - there are so many types out there in this wide world, and as you can see on this site your interests are shared here. You will find the gems, they will stay. You will find precious treasures instead of infinite grains of sand. Not like I have it all together, and I hear you, and if you want to just feel sad, that’s OK too. But you are definitely enough.

Thank you, that’s very sweet.
I have found people that did stay but I worry about losing everyone. People have treated me like crap my whole life so building up trust is hard.

Honestly I look up to you, running a business you care about after all the crap you've been through.

You completely deserve to have people around you who love you. However, life is like that, many of them will come to just go. I took a while to understand this, it still hurts though. But I'm pretty sure you'll never end up alone. Hang there and for sure you'll find someone new who will stay <3
