Members Broken Blackbird Posted March 7, 2022 Members Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 My father was my best friend. We got each other. When he died, my world shattered into pieces. I never had many friends. I stuck close to the few friends. But I've moved away, and I am lonely. I want to get close to others. But I have this fear that the friendship will end quickly, so as a protection to not get too attached to someone I keep my distance. But I'm unhappy. But I don't know how to get close to people without this intense dread that they'll suddenly disappear. I understand that I have some PSTD for having to accept my father was going to die in only 24 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tayla Posted March 15, 2022 Members Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hello. sorry to hear of your pain and loss. I always think of the advice my mother would of given me. Would they want us to be holding back on life when it is so precious. Only when your ready will you feel ready to make such friendships. Don’t be to hard on yourself for this. It’s a process. And it will come in time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
