coping with being alone
Hey gang, I really need some advice on how to be alone and not seek out validation from people, I never feel like a priority in people's lives and I don't know how to be alone and not feel like people hate me when I'm not invited to things <3
@Vipheart Hey, I totally understand how tough that feeling can be. It’s hard when you feel left out or like you’re not a priority, but being alone doesn’t mean you're not important or loved. It’s more about finding peace within yourself and not relying on others to fill that gap. What you can do is do things that make you happy, like reading, walking, or listening to music. Learning to enjoy your own company is really important. When you feel like no one cares, try to think about the people who do. Sometimes, our minds can make us feel more alone than we really are. It’s okay to say no to things and take time for yourself. You don’t always have to be with others to feel good. Being alone can help you learn more about yourself. You are enough just as you are. It’s normal to want connection, but being happy with yourself first makes it easier to build real, lasting relationships. You matter whether you’re with people or on your own.
