Feeling lonely
Hello 👋🏻
i’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression since i was a teen. I just turned 30 a few weeks ago and i have no real friends.
i lost a lot of my friends when i left school and everyone went their own way and ive never really stuck with any new ones.
i had a couple “friends” for a while but i would only see them once or twice a year and they would only talk to me if i messaged them first. (I used the old “if they wanted to reach out to you they would and most of them didnt…..😔)
it gets really lonely not having anyone to talk to. I do have a boyfriend (somehow 😂) but it would be nice to have someone else to spend time with or even just a long distance online “pen pal” to chat to.
I have been through this... And struggling to find a friend like wise ( have no gf btw)
Feel free to approach me 😊
maybe you just havent found the ones that will stay. I mean sometimes life happened and they moved on to their new lives with new people and that’s okay. Keep on making friends and I’m pretty sure someone will decide to stay in your life. Trust the process. I pray everything goes well for you. Oh and happy belated birthday! May you find what you’re looking for.
I would be your friend. I need friends too. The loneliness is overwhelming sometimes. I wish there was a way for us to chat on here, but I think that’s forbidden.
Hey im 29 with literally 5-8 close friends since College who i talk to like twice a year and i just joined. I just want to let you know you can find some friends doing any hobby you like. For me it was pickleball and the gym.
Think about it like you were back in school. You wouldnt have been friends in the first place if you were never in school to begin with. Whether its hiking or horseback riding just find others who like what u like
I feel how you feel...... I know the loneliness that haunts you. I too have struggled with depression and loneliness over the years. I find talking to people who I don't know easier because they don't know me therefore if they judge me it doesn't matter so much.
Some days I just wish the big black hole Im in would just swallow me up and be done with me finally but it never does......it just leaves me sitting at the bottom of it in totally despair.
I've always loved writing so I try to find solace in journaling. Writing can be a wonderful excape from the world. Putting my thoughts and feelings to paper temporarily takes the negativity away.
It would be great to have a pen pal if you wanted to write. I know connection to people can be hard when you feel lonely and depressed but there always someone somewhere feeling the same, someone who understands and can give you that reassurances that the world isn't as bad as it feels sometimes.
Hey, I understand the feeling completely! I’ve never had any consistent long-term friendships. I always feel like I’m the one putting in the most effort and giving too much. If you’d like to chat, I’m around. :)
I just wrote something similar on here! It's really hard when you are 30 and feel like you don't have a deep meaningful friendship with anybody. I'm definitely up for talking 😊
@LonelyGinger93 I feel the same way. I recently moved and the distance had made it hard to maintain my friendships. Sometimes I want to reach out to them but I don’t want to be a bother. I know that they rather meet in person and do fun things which I’m not always up for. If you need someone to talk to you can message me. I’m not totally sure how this works but I’m available.
