It sounds like you're going through a tough time trying to connect with people on a deeper level. Building meaningful connections can be challenging, especially when it feels like others may be facing their own struggles. One approach could be to focus on empathy and active listening when engaging with others. By showing genuine interest in their experiences and emotions, you may be able to establish a stronger bond. Additionally, being vulnerable and sharing your own struggles can create a more authentic connection, as it allows others to relate to you on a deeper level. It's important to remember that meaningful relationships take time and effort, so be patient with yourself and others as you navigate this journey.
