Title, I don't talk to my childhood friends due to personal issues, and honestly im just looking for advice on what I should do. Please feel free to let me know I am looking for any and all advice. Just want to make solid friends that i can hang with and become really close with.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I've been there.
Firstly, use this space and freedom to get to know yourself, builds skills, learn things, explore life. This has the highest ROI to your success, well-being, and everything else.
Secondly, leave the house, as often as you can. I had times when I didn't have many friends. What I found out years later is that it's quite simple - just don't stay home all the time, lol.
A massive cheatcode is to join sport groups, participate in other activities that interest you, and explore Facebook events (as well as MeetUp, Couchsurfing). Soon you will find likeminded people.
