Hey Steph,

Nice to see someone else more closer to my age here who is looking for help. It's good that you have a loving boyfriend to support you. I totally know how you feel when it comes to friends. I pretty much only have one real friend, and even with her I get anxious that she would prefer to be best friends with someone else :/

I hope we both find what we are looking for here. :)
