I am really tired of investing in friendships that pan out to nothing. It is like I keep thinking I am making a new/close friend and then for whatever reason, I eventually end up never hearing from them again and I am left wondering what the heck I did wrong.

What can I do to stop trusting people so much and instantly trying to become close friends with them when they all eventually end up not speaking to me anymore?

hlskitten agony auntMaybe you're just trying too hard? Its nice to be someones friend and offer them advice etc, but you want more out of life than to be someones sounding board. But it could be that you put that across to them so they listen to you, then they're off sorting their life.

Hang on in there because its nice to be nice, and one day it will pay off.

i get this as well and just realize that you can be close to anyone but people come and go in your life and even close friends come and go, thats the way thing are and even those friends you are losing you will eventually get new ones, when someone leaves your life just cherish the memories and let them go and move on, not every close friend will stay with you for long but that doesnt mean they werent a good friend while they lasted
