Over the last 3 years I quit reaching out to people and frankly lost all my friends
Is that just a normal part of growing up?
It's normal for people with avoidant personality disorder
Don't bump on first page though, darling
No you were just not a good friend.
>Is this a normal part of growing up?
No, but it is common. The solution is to start reaching out again, even though you are scared.

Friendships take more work when you're older. You don't see each other out of obligation like you did in high school. You have to actually plan things and go out with people. A lot of people keep doing what they've been doing with the spare time all along, just playing video games at home.

there you go.
I feel the same, I have a handful of friends and I don't ever feel like participating in group chats, always feel happy when plans are cancelled and would rather my own company. But if I haven't seen friends for a while I feel lonely and like I'm a loser. Why.
