I have always felt like there was a sort of curse with me. Relationships going bad, friendships never lasting.

Im not a very assertive person. I can absolutely chat to anyone but I don’t seem to be able to maintain friendships.

I’m single (again) It’s always, always been me to end relationships. My kids are older now, I have a teen at home but the others have flown the nest.

I feel like I have put so much into the amazing people I have raised that I don’t have any left for myself.

No relationship is perfect. Friendships come and go.

Do you feel you're the reason for that occurrence and if so why?

Is there a pattern to your ending relationships? Why do you end them? Eventually most people who achieve growth in their life want to make their own way.

Keep looking and you will fine more for yourself. There are always ways to improve yourself; knowledge, skill, health, enlightenment, etc.

Talk to the person next to you.

Really, that's the way these things tend to happen. Those friends we made in school? It's not because they were the absolute best people, it's because we were literally stuck in classes with them 35hrs a week, so we just talked to each other, and picked the ones we got on with.

So in life, who do you talk to? Do you talk to people at the gym or any hobby you enjoy? Dollars to donuts, there will be someone there with similar interests to you, likely because you're doing the same thing.

For example, I like movies. At my gym it didn't take long to figure out which of the staff members were into movies, so I found one that did and we clicked, talked every time we saw each other. Next thing there's a film we're both interested in seeing, so we choose to see it together. Time after that, he asks if another one of his friends can come along, now I'm friends with her too.
