How does mental illness affect social life?
Social relationships are protective of mental health for all people. People with mental illness are, however, less likely to have such protective relationships, and when their social links are poor their recovery is compromised and they are at heightened risk of relapse (Pevalin & Goldberg 2003).

Why do I always want to hang out with my friends?
If you’re always asking your friend to hang out and the person doesn’t initiate any get-togethers, it could be that they’re socially anxious. But it could also be that you want to hang out with them more than they want to spend time with you. That’s a sure sign of a one-sided friendship.

Why don’t my friends invite me out more often?
If you have a packed schedule your friends may realize you won’t be able to accept most of the time when they make an invitation.

Why do my friends Always Leave Me Out of everything?
If these friends are leaving you out they either might not know that they are or are fully aware that they are. It could be one of them that’s telling the rest of them not to hang with u so look out for him/her. Look out for a different friend. Maybe a friend that’s not part of this particular friend group.
