Okay, so I’m 24 and I don’t have many girl friends. I didn’t really maintain the friendships I made in high school, and I’m introverted, so I guess it’s always been a little hard for me to keep friends.

I’m in a 3-year relationship, and this year has been tough for us. I realized that I needed some friends, so I downloaded Bumble BFF. I met this girl on there, and we’ve been texting every day since, like, May? We seemed to have a lot in common, and we started opening up to each other a little. I was drawn to her because she was just getting out of a relationship, and I was kind of helping her through the breakup, I guess?

But now, I’m just over ittttt lol.

The first thing I noticed was that when I tried to vent to her about me and the stuff going on in my life, she’d dismiss it right away. And when I did vent, I regretted it because she told me this other girl’s business after they had a falling out. It kind of made me feel like she might do the same to me, lol.

She’s single, so obviously, she’s going on dates and all that, and I’m happy to help with that. But all this girl talks about is how much dick she gets 😭. I’m not even exaggerating. She’ll text me about her latest endeavors and then post our convos on her IG story and all that. She keeps having pregnancy scares, and I’m tired of suggesting that she should go on birth control.

My birthday was a few days ago. I posted about it, and we had also talked about it a couple of days before—a few times, actually. On the day of, she texted me about something on my story (which was actually unrelated to my birthday) but never actually told me happy birthday, lol. And I know this may seem childish of me, and I know I shouldn’t care considering I don’t even know this girl in real life, but it made me a tiny bit sad because I thought I was maybe actually making a friend? 😭😭

Like, she’s cool and all, but I want friendships that make me feel valued and heard. But I’m afraid that maybe I’m being too sensitive and that this is why I have no close friends 😔.
