I need to start caring about other people. I feel like I always talk to people when I need them and then ignore after. I don't reach out to anyone. I lose friends every year. I am selfish and care mostly about myself.

Other people are you. They're like mirrors of what you have inside.

Logically I understand that. I don't have it within me to genuinely care about others on a deep level. Maybe it's over for me

>>81597830 (OP)
read something about how childhood neglect somehow manifests as narcissism in later adult life
you and me both, eh OP?

>>81597985
Why do you say this OP

>>81598374
because I feel like none of my friends really consider me that close to them, even when I try to initiate. It's gotta be me since I'm the constant. I like having friends that care about me

Friends are like gardening yeah. It's not about initiating once for sure, and sometimes people are retarded because they let a single bad episode ruin their friendship making skills
