Always Lonely
Depression Support / by teddyxj0461

...See more Hi, I’ve not really posted until now because I’m always very anxious and tbh embarrassed to share things, even if it is anonymous. But I don’t have anyone to talk to anyway so I thought I would try. I’m a 23M and I’ve been struggling with really terrible depression for a long time. I don’t have a support system and don’t really have a ton of friends. My parents are the opposite of supportive so Im forced to pretend to be happy/okay anytime Im home, which is sadly most of the time because I don’t have friends to hang out or talk with regularly. I always feel alone, all the time. Even on the rare occasions I get to hang out with others, I end up feeling absolutely alone and useless. I have a really hard time making friends, and the friends I do make don’t really make efforts to hang out with me, it’s always me reaching out which makes me feel extremely replaceable and unimportant. I don’t really feel special or important to anyone tbh, including my parents, and I’m just always feeling depressed and worthless. I try to be confident, but I really don’t have anything to be confident about, and the consistent rejections and failures have deprived my self-esteem completely. I just want to feel important, even if it’s to one person. I wish that i had a friend that would be always be excited to talk to me, and want to hear about everything, and make me feel loved and valued, but that seems like a wild fantasy to have for me. I feel really pathetic as well when people mention stuff they did during small talk like hang out with friends or travel or anything, because I don’t have friends and don’t have many life experiences because I’ve dont have people to do things with, and sometimes I don’t really understand social norms for the same reason. I don’t really feel like I’m deserving of love because I was really neglected by my parents and I dont feel important or funny in general to people. I’m honestly not really sure how exactly these threads work but I hope I used this correctly. Thank you for listening to my venting.

...See more Hi, Im new to this platform and don’t really know how 7cups works at all, I was hoping someone could help explain how this group works and how we would talk to someone? I have depression and extreme anxiety, and always feel alone.
