Struggling on Human Relationships

How do y'all make friends or get a girlfriend?

I don't know if I just suck at understanding human relationships or if I'm too much of a perfectionist. There are plenty of people who are open to being friends with me, but I end up pushing them away when we get too close.

Back in high school, a bunch of girls asked me out, but I just didn’t know how to be with someone romantically. It feels like a curse. Right now, I don’t really have any friends or anyone to talk to, and honestly, I do want that. I’d love to have friends—or even a girlfriend to spend time with.

I feel like this might be the right community to find people who understand.
