I just broke up with my boyfriend of a year and a half. We are extremely different in ages - he's 30 and I'm 20. He wants to settle down and be comfortable, but I want to explore life - travel, meet new people, go to university, etc. - and while I understand his needs, I unfortunately can't meet them. I'd love to, but not right now. It's better for both of us. Unfortunately, I make a very common but very bad habit of losing many friends when I'm with someone. I'm trying to mend old friendships and meet new people, but my social skills have really, reeeally gone downhill. I feel like I'm putting people out when I call them, or feel anxious and nervous just when a female friend hugs me. So how can I make new friends, but importantly, how do YOU manage to KEEP them? I've found it very hard, as they're normally busy with their OWN friends, working lots, etc. I'm trying to build myself a new lifestyle. Do any of you have advice for me?
