Finding New Friends

[Seafood]

My psycologist advised that I move to new friendship groups this term. But I don't really want to. I only have one real friend in the group I'm in ATM.

It will be fine. Find people who you have common interests with. Approach other people who you might perceive as shy or as a loner. Don't be scared about it, just do it. At least try and get yourself out there. Join a group or a club at school you might like. Try to find mutual friends and learn more people that way. It could help out in the long run and you would be thankful that you were able to meet so many new people. Give it a shot, don't worry about being perfect. It's going to be fine. :)

The thing is I kinda know everyone already. I'm not scared or anything, I'd just rather be with my best friend.

Why are you only limiting yourself to one person? Again, be mutual about it. Find more people to put into your circle. If you know them, then it shouldn't be that hard to befriend them or get to know them on a more personal level. I'm not asking you to be everyone's friend, just try to find a new faces to attach yourself to. No harm in trying and I know you can do it. You can have close friends, and best friends, and just people you talk to every now and then. They are all considered friends though, there are different levels of friendship.

Because I don't trust anyone else. And shes all I need.

I'm sorry, but your psycologist's shit if he advises leaving all your friend on the off chance it makes you better. But, if you wish to follow his advice. I think the best thing you can do is not just randonly aporach a random group, try getting to know one person, and try to develop a frindship with that person, and let a new group grow from that one seed.

Perhaps best if you talk this over with your psychologist.

[SethfromMI]

why is he saying that? is , by what you are tellinghim, your current social group making life worse? there are lots of different things which can go into this and not enough for me to make an accurate judgment. regardless though, making new, even additional friends, is never a bad thing.

Have you tried telling your psychologist this part?

I don't tell my psychologist anything.

Update: My best friend just told me she is moving friendship groups. Im coming with her so hopefully it should be all good.

[Karkat]

I don't tell my psychologist anything.

Then why are you going to them? They can't help you if you don't give them the information they need.

My parents want me to.

I don't know why I don't tell him anything.

Is it because you don't trust him? That's totally reasonable if that's the case- sometimes it can seriously take time. I mean, they're just a stranger. Try extending yourself a little at a time maybe, once you feel more comfortable you can move on to things that are really bothering you.

I guess so.
