How do I feel like I belong?

We are glad you have discovered our website and are reaching out today. We all have a need to belong and to feel important to others. 

Rather than putting forth your efforts to the outside, try putting some efforts towards the inside. Identify things that you like and like to do, even by yourself. As you discover things you like and like to do, then look for others that like and like to do the same things. You will start out with something in common, and genuine things you can share.  

Try out some of the steps in these tips:

• Making Friends
• Building Friendships

You may already have friends but taking these steps can help you become closer. That close connection might help you feel like you belong.

We are here for you,

Amanda, Counselor
