Loneliness and Insecurities
I just got a room to myself a few weeks ago. The only people who visit me in my room is my mom, dad, and my brother. They all want me to do something though. Other times when my friends are talking in our group chat I feel like I shouldn't talk and interrupt them. Nobody ever invites me to eat at restaurants and I feel so left out and lonely in my room. It's like the only escape from reality is going on YouTube or social media. But when that's the only escape from the real world I see other people that are prettier than me and so much skinnier than me and I feel so insecure about it. Whenever I try to put my phone away I just can't stop looking at what I'm never going to be.
Hi:) In these difficult times during pandemic we should be grateful of what we have..Believe me i have seen so many bad things in the Intensive care unit where i work.Your mother brother father are your family ,not sure what is your relationship at the moment..but for me for example...i realised that my family is more important than ‘friends ‘(who i thought they are friends....💔)...But the right friends are as good as family so when you find them you are very lucky!!If you feel like that about your friends in the chat...there are two things to consider..1) it is in your head and a discussion with them and opening up may fix things or 2) you are actually right and you need to find a new friend..I don’t know where you live but most countries are in lockdown and going out a lot is not easy at the moment!Do you have any hobbies?You could use an online group in your area with the possibility to make new friends in the future(of course you will be very careful and vigilant when you meet people online)...Please don’t be influenced by social media and photos of people...remember the more they post the more problems they want to hide(there are many researches about this ,it’s true!Posting about their perfect lives sometimes mean that they are actually insecure).Now as about the weight..if you are healthy it doesn’t matter..You can find beautiful clothes you can do a nice make up do things for yourself even make small changes in your lifestyle..(what about a yoga online class??)that will boost your confidence and believe me confidence is better that a skinny body!!!❤️
