Hi
Hello,I am new here and not sure how to begin but um...... as of late I have been feeling quite lonely. My daily routine is either work or school and I have friends but when I want to hang out they don't seem to make the effort to hang out with me or even just a simple text or call on the phone.
It seems I put more care more than they do and it creates this feeling of isolation that i cant seem to shake and so im often sitting in my bed watching the sames shows for the 10th time
Hello and welcome to 7cups! Thanks for sharing your story! I hear ya, this is an area I have been struggling with a lot myself. I have learned that the most we can do is reach out and make ourselves available to others. Whether they respond is within their own rights, though. It's a hard truth but no one friend is obliged to make time for us if they don't want to. Keep working on yourself, and rest assured that one day you'll find and attract people who WANT to spend time with you. And then, even having just one such person would be enough.
Until then, love yourself, keep working on yourself, be okay with more "surface" friendship and realize that it's normal. If you want to have someone to talk to, reach out to someone close to you, a 7cups listener or therapist :). Best wishes!
@thoughtfulPillow12 thank you
