Why You Can't Make Friends: Lack of Trust and Other Reasons

16.12.2024 15:35

Friendship is important for every person. If he fails to realize himself in such a significant area, most likely he will experience great discomfort because of it.

Therefore, first of all, it is worth finding out the reasons why difficulties sometimes arise when building friendly relationships.

Lack of trust

If a person is not able to trust, then he will not be able to make friends.

It is believed that distrust of men is caused by disappointment in one's own father - the first representative of the stronger sex in the child's life. The same thing happens with the female sex - the problem should be sought in a negative experience with the mother.

The desire to meet needs at the expense of friends

Sometimes people, wanting to make up for the lack of paternal or maternal energy, on the contrary, too quickly make friends among men and women, respectively. As long as their friends satisfy the need for love for dad and mom, everything goes well. But as soon as a friend or girlfriend begins to behave differently, not the way they want, the friendship collapses.

As a result, thoughts arise that it is better to be completely alone so as not to be disappointed.

The desire to become a parent to someone

It is unlikely that it will be possible to build friendly relations in a situation where a person himself turns into a “parent” for his friend and is determined to help him out, save him and support him – even when there is no need for it.

This disrespectful behavior can leave friends feeling hurt and humiliated, making them reluctant to continue communicating.
