      We’re better together. Don’t try to survive on your own, having friends you can trust is crucial for survival

        that’s unfortunate, as I don’t really have any close friends I’d say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.

        sometimes that’s just how it is.

          I understand. Making (and keeping) friends, especially as an adult, is hard. What I meant was that you shouldn’t isolate yourself

            well it’s too late for that, as I’m already isolated, so again – hopefully I will soon be better at being happy with little to be happy about.
