In reply to Melina Elisa. It kind of sucked, but it also showed me who my true friends were. A couple stuck around at least! Yes that would be awesome! One day when things are a little more normal I'd love to actually meet you in person. I keep telling my husband I need to visit New York someday..

In reply to alwayscleia. I can imagine it was harder to stay close to some of your close friends because you were going through such different stages in your lives. It's still sad to hear that they stopped inviting you places! I know for a fact if i'm ever close to your neck of the woods I'll definitely hit you up so we can meet up (well, if you're interested in that, of course!). I'm happy to hear that you're rebuilding your tribe again :) x

I'm so glad you found your own tribe of best friends who you don't feel you have to pretend around. I have a hard time keeping up with friendships sometimes, getting married in my early twenties kind of put a wedge between me and some of my friends that were in different places in life. I stopped getting invited to go out, and a lot of those people left my life. But I'm starting to build up my tribe again, slowly!

This post touched my heart in a way that a blog post hasn't done in a while. Thank you for writing about such a personal topic. I've always been embarrassed about the fact that I don't have a group of 'girl friends', you've helped me realize that just because it didn't happen in my teens doesn't mean that it won't happen in my 20's Great post, again. Thank you!

In reply to nianni. I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, and I really hope that they are being friends with you for genuine reasons! No matter what, listen to your gut. Remember, if these people aren't the ones for you, you'll meet them soon enough:) Just keep being your amazing self! Thanks so much for reading and sharing your experiences xx

In reply to Jenny in Neverland. I'm so sorry that you had a bad group of friends that didn't support you when you needed it most! I've been fairly lucky to have some friends who have been with me for over 15 years! I hope you have a great supportive group of friends now :) Thanks so much for reading and commenting ! xx
