Or you end up thinking that but then you go through a period of struggle and the people who you thought supported you grow frustrated and tired of it and it pushes them away. Mourning the loss of the type of relationship I had with my best friend. And it's all my fault for being too much.

I wish finding "my people" was easier. I can count on one hand the ones I have so far.
I can confirm, it did turn out to be just that.
I'm happy that in the last 3-5 years that I have been meeting the type of people I want to be around.
All my new friends have been treating me the way I have always wished to be treated. Which is the same way I try to treat everyone else. They also happen to be a very specific type of people that is completely unexpected to me but I'm so happy to have met them anyways. I love them all so much.
