Yesterday at work my coworker asked what I was doing for my birthday. I said nothing. He said “aww cmon why don’t u go out with ur homegirls!!!” I stood there silently. It got really awkward. We stood in silence for a long few seconds. He was like “…u do have homegirls right?” (I don’t).

So I lied and said “yes they just live very far away!!”

I have 0 friends. I grew up having tons and unfortunately grew apart from all of them. No crazy drama or falling outs. Just different people now. I’m in my late 20s now and have no friends and I feel like there’s something wrong with me. Like I am unlikable and people don’t want to be around me.

My mom asked me what I want for my birthday and I said “for someone to remember me and want to be my friend.” I’m tired of reaching out to people who don’t do the same for me. So yeah. I feel pretty down.
