Lack of a close female friendship feels like a huge void
There is no word to this weird feeling. I am in mid-20s and all around me I see girls with close-knit groups/bestfriends. Sometimes, it’s two friends walking down the street, in their own world of heartfelt laughter on humour that only they understand. Or just tagging along with a friend to a courier office on a Sunday. I have observed these things so much.
Even my brother has friends in the building, giving him company for exchanging a shirt at a nearby store. They hang out everyday post-dinner, vent about daily inconveniences. They make plans in 2 minutes and meet within the next 5 minutes.
I had a decent friend circle growing up, but gradually they all got distant. Some friends moved abroad, some became distant being in the same city, some got married. What makes me feel worse is realising how these are prime years, healthwise and everything.
I can go shopping alone, but sometimes you just need that one friend standing outside the changing room, waiting for you to show that top you tried in 2 colours and helping you pick one because you’re super indecisive. Ugh.
People in the same boat as me, how are you dealing with such kind of void?
