"You don't have friend making skills"

[nadine_mn]

This is what my therapist said last week. Now she wasn't saying it to be mean...it was a reflection on the fact that as an only child, from an abusive family, who moved around a lot - I never really made friends. My mother doesn't have any neither does my dad. I have acquaintances - but never really had best friends (my BF from college died way too young from cancer).

Anyway, we were talking about my support system and I said well my husband is my best friend (which he is and I am so lucky for that). But all through life I have been pretty much a loner...never really felt like I was missing much - I have never felt "alone' or "lonely". But just hearing those words from my therapist just made me so sad and it has lingered all week.

So my new year's resolution is going to at least try to improve on my friend making skills....weeeeee!
