I have had so many different "best friend"in my life.Each year I seem to have different one ,but now I dont even have a trusted friend near me.I have been a very bad friend.I was never there for them.I'm always thinking about myself and hurting others.I was happy when I have friends,but I wasn't a very good one.They still trusted me and be by my side.I'm always thinking about myself and finally I left them for no reason. I recently left a very dear friend of mine alone in another country because I moved.She have problem making friends,but I gave her my trust and she accepted it.I moved because of a stupid reason.I broke my family apart too because of this decision.I was finally making friends in this new place,but I'm always thinking of myself better than them.I didn't went to school for a while and they texted me asking why and I promised them that I'll go the next day but didnt.They called me a lier and never texted me back.I'm planning on starting all over again with new friends,but how can I be a better friend?

By realizing that you do have a problem is the first step to correcting it. It may be helpful to seek out a therapist. There may be an underlying problem. It may be a matter of you not feeling you can trust people enough. I hope you are able to turn things around. It may take a little work, but that is a part of having relationships.

thank you. I really thought of finding a therapist,but afraid of sharing my problems with others in person cause I have another problem which is I dont like people to see my weak side

I hope that you will be able to improve friends by saying things like " I like it when you ..." You might try saying "It makes me happy when you.." Friendships vary and it can take time to built up a very good friendship. It can be interesting to make new friends after a move to a new area. It is lovely to remain in contact with a few friends from the past. Good luck with making and keeping more friends.
