Second Cousin

By swim_fin_1 September 10, 2020 4 answers Last updated September 10, 2020

Hello. I am 19 years old, a student and I am one of those people who do not have close friends and those outside of school and university, as well as a boyfriend (I tried one, but it cut me off). I have almost no one to go out with, I walk alone, and I don't want to share with my family, even though they see me in what situation I am. I have no brother or sister and my only peer, a relative 1 year younger than me, is a second cousin. The problem, however, is that his parents are divorced and we are not in touch. Of course, I can contact him, but I don't know if it won't be embarrassing that I'm looking for him for help because I don't have a social circle. He is still a relative of mine, but relatives do not always help each other.

   Well, it's not said to tell him you don't have friends. You call him by accident to hear how he is and so by the way you suggest that you have two tickets for a match or that "it's not bad to go out for coffee sometimes". The goal is not to sound desperate, but just as if at the last moment the friend you were going to a game with gave up and you thought of him. Well, this with the tickets is of course just an example. You can invite him elsewhere, you know best what he likes to do. And then, if you have a good time, you will be able to invite him without having to write stories that "a friend got sick and for that he will not be able to come to the match with you." The most important thing is not to sound desperate as if you are literally on your knees asking him to come out with you because you have no other friends.

   If you are in a city you can try. If it is further away, the fact that you are relatives does not matter much. It will be rather strange.

   In order to have a social circle, you must first get to know yourself. Describe the problems that are relevant to you. Start doing something, read first, then train, finally push. Enter forums that are interesting to you and here are people and acquaintances. You're a student, dude! This gives you at least 5,000 choices for a social circle ...

   And if he's cool and you have some common interests, what do you care? Kinship is another reason for friendship!
