Loneliness
I feel really lonely. I finished school early and I didn’t have any friends when I was there but I still talked to people a little. Now it’s like I have no one. My family barely even talks to each other. I have my bf but he needs his space sometimes too and I’m those moments it’s like idk what to do with myself. I’ve been trying so hard to make friends but I just don’t know how. It’s especially hard with social anxiety and then depression on top of it all. U try talking to people about this but they just say “you need to get comfortable being alone” and the thing about that is I’ve spent 95% of my life alone from being in foster care, being bullied, and just having no one. I’m honestly tired of it and just want caring friends for a change. *** that’s too much to ask for.

Hello, have you communicated with your family or anyone close enough about how you have been feeling? it's good that you are interacting on an online community like this because you can meet a lot of people that match your interests. You said that in school you were able to talk to people a little bit so maybe consider doing some volunteering, online communities, or anything to meet people. It can be hard with social anxiety but at least it can help you feel less lonely. I'm not sure if this helped but don't give up hope
