My brother’s a few years younger than me and I’m his older sister. It was pretty recently I got better from a decade long illness that put me into a semi conscious and half bedbound state. I have almost no memory of that decade and now I’m adjusting. I had spent a whole year getting used to being able to eat properly again. When I was ill my classmates who I was friends with moved cities and kinda moved on so I’m back to square one and feel a bit lost. My brother and his friends are members of the same subculture I’m in.

I have 2 close friends but they’re American and it’s online, nothing in person. So I’m single and only have 2 friends who are American and who I speak to over Discord. Recently I finished therapy and the therapist told me that friendships are important. Sometimes my brother goes out with his friends (don’t know how many of them are girls but I don’t mind either way, I’m a tomboy and get along slightly better with guys) and I was wondering if it’d be weird to want to want to tag along sometimes as a start?
