Thoughts I Needed Out Of My Head

I often worry that my novelty with people wears off. 

I wonder if I'm too intense for people or more boring than they originally thought, and if that's the reason people distance themselves from me after short periods of time. 
And I beat myself up about it a lot because I used to tell people "It's okay to not get along with everyone. There are billions of people on the planet, not everyone is going to like each other." And I stand by that statement, but ever since I moved I have been feeling the weight of this loneliness more and more each day. I went from having friends that would legit pick me up just to take me grocery shopping with them, to being extremely isolated. And every time I try to make a new friend, it feels like things go really well for a few days, and then everything fizzles out. 

I wish I knew how to fix it. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong.

Friendships come and go... but making friends then losing them sucks... take it from me. But what I am saying is that you are you, and I think you have some great friends on here to keep you company :)
