Why am I feeling lonely but i have friends?

I've just been feeling so lonely since summer started, I thought since I have friends now I wouldn't feel so alone but that feeling is coming back. I've had all these plans for summer with my friends but they're all too busy to hangout with me like they're hardly even texting me it feels like I'm a fan who's desperately trying to get their attention or I'm just the backup friend and it just kinda sucks.

im kinda in the same situation of being the "back-up friend" honestly just go out or find hobbies, ik it sounds a bit ignorant but thats the best you can do instead of dwelling on it. connections are hard to understand/maintain/make. just keep going through the motions, thats far better than nothing

Honey I know this will sound incredibly basic, but if you feel like that around your friends try to talk to them about how you feel. I know it sounds a bit scary, but your emotions are so valid. If they dismiss you or accuse4 you of playing a victim or something like that- you really don't need those people to stress you out during the summer. Plan some solo adventures <3. Or rebound with some other people.

If they are your friends they will hear you and do something about that, if not protect your space hon.


lots of love and have a great summer
