I don’t want you to feel depressed. I bet there are tons of people in the world who would love to be your friend and take you in as a member of their family. You can find a way that best works for you while trying to meet new people and make friends. If you have one friend, you can try meeting their friends. You can always ask us for advice and maybe try talking to an adult who can help you meet new people. More people are here to help than you make think! You can do it.

To feel depressed is okay. You need to understand that sometimes it’s okay to be not okay. Not talking to your friends and family can be a stressful thing. But if i were in your shoes i would try to text or call them whenever i can. You can free time for yourself to have a little break from everything and just go and hangout with your family and friends. It’s okay. Also, they understand that you are busy. Don’t panic, everyone passes through the same in their lives. Eventually, everything gets better and you learn hOw to manage your time.

I encourage you to find other people to share your depression or use 7 cups. But, if you are sometimes tired to look for someone, it is ok. Give some time and space to yourself by giving what you like to do or just to be relax. If the something that makes you feel depressing keeps bothering you, do not forget that you are more gorgeous and valuable than any other things. No one can judge, including yourself, you since yourself is valuable to you and other people. I hope you don't forget that you are born to be loved.

You are born with your family. But you have more choices for friends. First of all, try to know yourself better and understand what you really need. Family and friends are important parts of your life but not everything of yours. Boundaries are helpful. They help you to think about what you are ready to share with somebody and what you are not. Reviews are crucial. Comments from other are influential. But your own feeling matters to you very much. Listen to both and try to observe yourself and the surroundings. There are subjective sides and objective sides. The awareness and practices will help.
