I made my own and kept to myself but it's sucks being solo and makes it boring sometimes.

I do try to make friends if or when I can but keep people at arms length for I guess safety reasons. I would like to make some friends and hopefully trust people again. I was in a FC just earlier but left it since it made me feel uncomfortable and brings back bad memories.

Any ideas or advice I can do? I own my FC like I said just like to be able to trust people again and make some friends and have fun again
I suggest using Community Finder. Read what each FC there has to say for themselves. If their discription is vague, then ask questions. What do they expect from you as a player in their FC? What is their policies/rules? Is it a no obligation to just try out their FC? I agree too large of an FC (hundreds of active members) you can get lost in the sea of players. Too small, it's activity is limited base on peak play times of it's members. The rest of the time it's dead. I suggest looking for a happy medium and even then it's no guarantee.

If you own your own FC, then you should seek out members that suit you and your play style and build it from their. Like someone mentioned your social ability is your own personal journey that you'll have to work out for yourself. You have plenty of options as a starting point.
