Hi there I am 28 and feeling really out of it
I deal with depression and anxietyand am suffering from lonliness as well and it really does get to me this time of year. I don't interact much others and it tends to make them think I am standoffish or angry. I am not. I am just the quiet type who prays people would jsut come and sit with me in the quiet for a bit before starting a conversation. Let me get used to you and build up some trust. I promise I have a lof of things to offer folks if they get to know me.
Hey there,
Even though I'm not exactly going through the same thing, I feel the same way some times. I'm also a quiet kind of guy and I am often mistaken for someone who's sad or angry. I can't smile without feeling true happiness. It just doesn't feel natural. I laugh all the time, but ask me to smile and I really struggle. I know the feeling you've described. Just wanting people to come talk to you...I guess it just doesn't work like that. Right now, I'm trying really hard to make a change. I'm testing a theory I have about myself. I wonder, if I feel better about myself, maybe it will help me break out of this shell? I know I'll never be that fully social/interactive kind of person, but maybe with a little bit of work on myself, I'll be able to approach people. A lot of reprogramming to do...both physical and mental.
HiEsplin. Great to have you here on 7 Cups. You feel lonely at the moment and it sounds like you feel no one understands you. That must be difficult. I'm sure you have so much to offer people if they take the effort to get to know you. If you would like to talk about what you're experiencing and going through at the moment, feel free to message me and we can set up a time for a chat or just pop in if I'm online. There are lots of other very caring listeners on here who will gladly listen to you as well. Take care.
