I just turned 27 days ago and I feel like I have no friends and have never had a boyfriend. I take care of myself and never have a problem finding a date, but the guys turn out to be pretty crappy and end up ghosting me or ending thing with me before anything gets serious.
I also have no genuine friends. I’m a nurse practitioner and I have kinda put friends on the back burner for the past couple yrs due to being in school for so long.
My only friends now are 2 girls from school but they are both engaged now.
One of them hasn’t really talked to me and for my birthday all she wrote was “happy birthday. hope it’s a good one”. I just said “thank you” in response.
Then my other friend forgot my birthday and made up some excuse that she had it in her calendar a day late however she forgot my bday last yr too.
I’m in both of these girls wedding sans just spent over $1000 on the first girl’s bachelorette party (it was out of town) and $200 on the other girls bridesmaid dress.
I ended up having lunch with the 2nd girl yesterday and she didn’t even bring me anything for my bday and barely asked how it was (I had to be the one to mention it).
I just feel like I have no genuine friends and I do t even want to be in these girls weddings anymore. I feel like I’m just a body that they need for the photos at this point.
My closest friends are honestly my coworkers but I’m about to switch clinic locations (I’ll be an hr away) so I won’t be able to see them as much. I just feel lost with my relationships.
I’m religious and have been thinking about joining a church to meet people. I refuse to do dating apps again because those just hurt my feelings and I would get so attached to the guy only for him to ghost me or end things a couple weeks into dating.
Any advice?
