Hang on to that optimism! I, unfortunately, am doing the opposite: people I care about have been hurting me more and more often, and it's to the point where I'm actively scared to make any new friends and even find myself keeping the old ones a little further off because I don't want to get hurt again. It's getting to the point where it's an actual problem for me, because so many of the oldest friends had already drifted away and the newere ones aren't being replaced as the attrition of both groups continues. =( If you have any words of advice on how to stay optimistic, I'd certainly appreciate them.
