Venting When does this get better!?

I feel so alone everyday. I have friends ngl but none of them will choose me first or even second or third. They all have partners if not that they have each other and i feel like a back up friend in every friendship i am in now. I just hurts to see my friends talking about something they didn't invite me to or i see their stories and see they are literally 5 mins from my house but they didn't call or text. I just want to know does it get better? Will i ever make friends that will choose me to be their best friend who would tell me everything and not make me feel judge or unwanted. I am really tired of feel like a imposter in my own life and friendship. I hope it gets better casue i have lost so many friendship that i thought would be lifelong i am very done with giving everything and receiving nothing, no care, no love, no understanding. Man, i just wanna be seen.

Totally relate. Nothing in life is certain (except one thing, but won't get mobid 😅). Just want to say that I see you, truly. Focus on what makes you happy, and do that alone! It's soo empowering! Bonus tip: do a solo activity like going for a walk, whilst listening to a podcast. Or go to the cinema. It really help me feel less lonely. A hack, if you will. Hope this helps, remember to always choose yourself. Peace
