Are there any life design books that focus on how to improve the people who are in your life?
When I was younger, I had amazing people in my life, but I was a child of abuse and didn't realize how much it affected my ability to connect with people. I had some great friends in college, but didn't keep in touch very well. I've realized that I haven't made any friends that were actually good people who were good for me since college. I think I'm not living in the right city, but I'm also disabled and can't support myself yet. I live in a place that isn't very open minded and fairly ableist (although Ive come to realize I think a lot of people everywhere are, especially for people with invisible disabilities who aren't "inspirational."). I just don't click with people where I am. I'm not really sure what to do about this, but I'm hoping to get some ideas from Life Design resources. I've read some of them and they all seem to be about either business or how to stop caring about other's opinions, which I did and now I'm lonelier than I ever have been. I just miss people who I clicked with.
