Is true friendship truly rare?​

Growing up, I always believed that I’d experience at least one meaningful friendship in my life—a bond where I could truly connect with someone without fear of betrayal. This belief was fueled by media portrayals, which I now realize were naive. As an adult, I’ve tried to open up and nurture several “friendships,” but none have lasted. Sometimes I wonder if it’s my fault—I wasn’t exactly the social butterfly in kindergarten or school. Maybe it’s too late now. So, is true friendship rare, or is it just impossible for someone like me? I’m starting to think that while friendship might not be rare in general, it could be unattainable for people like me who struggle with social connections. What do you think? Have you found lasting friendships, or do you find them hard to come by too? Let’s discuss! 👇 #Friendship #SocialStruggles #TrueConnection #Loneliness #Adulting
