I've found myself slow to trust and even once I do trust people my brain likes to still doubt 😭 it's kind of annoying. Especially when they haven't done anything to break that trust.
Now try having a personality disorder that is basically just amplified trust issues. xD
Yeah, I think I'm good <3 :sweat:

Does anybody else feel that relationships have become much more transactional in recent years?

Yeah, it feels like fewer people want to be friends. It seems that people are only interested in what you can do for them.

I don't have many in real life friends and I'm terrible about replying to messages. :S My wife and I have a best friend in real life but all of our other friends are online friends. She actually got to hang out with one of her internet friends who lives in Rochester last month.

I’ve never been great at making friends. Honestly these days all of em are just online ones. I mostly just hang with family otherwise.

I sometimes find myself reading a message I received when I shouldn't have and can't reply and then never go back around to respond >_<

Yeah, for whatever reason making online friends seems, to some extent, easier?
