Hey guys, hoping this isnt the wrong sub, but lately I've been feeling really lonely, even though I have a good thing going atm. FYI, I haven't got a formal BPD diagnosis, but I've noticed symptoms since secondary school

It's weird because I actually really enjoy my own company and I do have 3 friends (but NONE of them have bpd or mental health) I also have hobbies such: going to concerts (into hip hop, uk/us rap, rock, house, d&b, dancehall afrobeat's lol you name it), restaurants, music events (festivals), holidays adventures all the fun stuff!

But the thing it's actually so hard to find people who truly "get" me. You know, the ones who can connect on a deeper level and understand where I'm coming from. I can connect with people but I struggle to connect with people who seem "normal?"

The emotional rollercoaster (not in a toxic way, just feelings of feeling fkn lonely then overthinking) makes it hard to find people who actually get me. I crave deep connections, but the fear of abandonment makes it hard to open up fully. It's like there's this constant feeling of emptiness, even when I'm with people, unless there's a sense of safety in the friendship. Maybe others out there with similar experiences understand what I mean

Do you know where I can connect with others who have same thoughts/feelings as me?

Edit: I'm from south london
