I feel the impact of this one. I grew up in the military and my family moved every few years. Maybe some people didn't have a problem making friends like this, but I did. I couldn't maintain any friendships because we were gone in a few years, and this was before internet, so as phone calls get less and less, we drifted apart. Now as an adult, it's difficult for me to make friends. I've been the one ghosting others just because I was scared for people getting to close to me because it felt like they'd leave, and it was inevitable. But these days I'm doing better with this given all the self-work, but it's been a real struggle.
Thanks for writing this one.
