i don’t have friends
I DON’T HAVE FRIENDS. this post isn’t about wound dressing.
it seems like i need to make some friends just so there can be someone i can trust who can help me when i can’t help myself due to health reasons
- i think i never asked anything from a friend in the past. how do you ask such a thing from a friend?
- idk at what level of friendship you can ask something like that?
- idk how to have such a friend?
- how do i make friends for this purpose?
title was an example. other examples: you might need someone to accompany you at your hospital night stay after your surgery. you might need someone to drive you to a hospital after you break your foot or lose consciousness
In my experience, you make friends by being a friend. Some people just acquire a collection of friends to do things with, those are good people to start with. I invited one of our gay coworkers to a concert (because he liked the band) and now all my kids love him and we also go to yoga together. He is definitely someone who collects friends, he does hang out still with other people who used to work here.
Someone like that is a good place to start, to practice having friends. Once you are more comfortable with people it will be easier. You only have to be involved at the level you want, but basically I’d say if you want someone who would change your medical dressing that needs to be someone for whom you would do the same. That’s how you would know it’s ok. For me I would get an appointment with the walk in and pay, instead of asking someone who doesn’t know what they are doing.
