I have been talking a little bit about different problems I have been facing on here before. First, I have had trouble making friends in college which I have talked about. Second, I have been trying to deal with my boyfriend who doesn’t treat me well. All of those problems sorta came together and blew up. I have been having a lot of trouble making friends. I don’t know why. Yes, I am shy but I have always had friends. I have been making slight efforts (although I can probably do more) to meet people and invite them out, however, everyone I meet ends up being my acquaintance and I can’t meet people I truly bond with to become good friends. This has taken a toll on me as everyone around me is out partying and having fun. I haven’t been to one party simply because I don’t have friends who invite me. I also talked about how I met a guy who liked me and flirted with me. I liked how he treated me and I thought that I liked him but then I realized I didn’t. I only liked how he treated me better than my boyfriend does. Anyway, after I realized I didn’t like him I also realized how much I love and appreciate my boyfriend. Because of this, I thought it was right to tell him I have a boyfriend. We remained friends though as we got along very well and this kid is really the only person who invites me to study, hangout, etc. But my boyfriend is very controlling so I kept our friendship a secret. I knew that if I told my boyfriend about him (even though we are strictly friends), my boyfriend would flip out and start messaging him on social media. So I hid it. My boyfriend found out I am friends with him and assumed the worst. He accused me of kissing, having sex, going on dates, and having feelings for this guy. Oh, and he messaged him on social media. Then he broke up with me.

There is more to the story but I am too depressed to write anything else. I just need help going through this.
