Loneliness
Hi! Hope y'all are doing good. I wanted to talk about a sensitive topic for me which is loneliness. Since I can remember myself I've always been alone. In my entire life I only had one real friend but she changed a city and we tried to keep a long distance friendship but it didn't work. She just started to talk to me less and less because she made loads of new friends and our friendship quickly ended. Ever since I was alone. I even changed my high-school because I thought it will help me to have friends but it didn't and I'm still alone ALL THE TIME. I'm starting to think that something is off with me mentally because otherwise I dunno how to explain this. When I was a kid I was spending most of my time alone reading or drawing and my parents were overprotective which didn't help me to connect with other kids. I dunno if the problem is that I never was taught how to make friends or if there's just something wrong with me. I just feel so different from all my classmates! They are all interested in drinking, smoking and doing drugs and I'm not! Plus they mock me all the time because I have a 3.2 GPA which
is not so high, but is the highest in my class🙄. I am just so done with this situation. I recently started to think that I don't deserve to have friends. I don't even know what to do , I feel so useless 😭
Hey 23helicopters
I feel you...and I can relate to your situation, I've been there too...Where I was questioning whether I have real friends...it seems that I'm talking but not communicating...And I felt so lonely....
Also, when I was younger, my parents were overprotective as well..Because the outside world is always a nasty place...
I've been called boring and anti-social because I don't drink nor smoke with them....
But then, I found some peace within myself...at least for a while...And I started to attract some quality friends...
My advice for you is to not start new hobbies, go on travels, get to know new people through volunteering (it helped me a lot)...
You're not useless, you're just currently in the wrong environment perhaps...
Also, contact me whenever you feel lonely...we can be friends afterall!! :)
Hi! Tbh I'm already volunteering during my free time and I really like that but everyone there is much older than me. It's not a real problem for me because I love talking to people who are older than me but I feel just weird because of that. And as I'm spending most of my time at school where I feel different from everyone and weird , volunteering in my free time is unfortunately not enough to make me feel better about myself. I just wish I met someone of my age and with the same interests as me. Which is probably hard I guess😂 .
Everyone in my family is saying that it's a good quality to be mature and that it can be very useful but honestly for me It's just a source of problems and not a quality. I hope in the future I will meet someone like me .
I would love to talk to you but as I'm new I dunno how to directly contact you .😅
