Everyone my age seems to have a tribe and I never figured out how to belong

I can make small talk, get invited places, even be 'the funny one' in a group. But I always feel like a guest in other people's lives, never a fixture in anyone's. I watch people who have a ride-or-die crew and wonder what chapter I missed. Where do adults even find the kind of friends who become family?

If no one has told you today: you are doing better than you think, and you do not have to have it all figured out to be worthy of a good life.

You showed up here and said the hard thing. That is not nothing. That is the opposite of giving up. Quietly proud of you.

Be patient with yourself. Healing is not linear and you are not failing just because some days feel like a step backwards.
