Dealing with feeling alone

[Quirkygrl16]

I really feel very alone lately... I was doing so good until these last couple of days and it seems my depression has peaked again v.v How does everyone deal with these times? I dont really have friends outside of family and coworkers..

I dont really have many friends either... i understand internet is fun but in real it gets super lonely i dont know how i deal i honestly just try to talk to as many people as i can online so im constantly distracted.

I believe loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself. Someone once said to me that the way you love yourself is how you teach other people to love you, and that’s how they will see you, not the opposite.

 

I don’t know how good my advice can be, but maybe don’t just think about the things you like, you know, those things that make you so damn happy you can’t go a day without, then focus on doing what makes you happy, read books, go for walks, watch movies, learn to love your own company first. Because when you feel good in your own skin, people start to naturally gravitate towards you, because what you attract is what you are. Simply putting it, people want to be around people that makes them feel good about themselves, happy people. Maybe when you go through the process of putting your energy into what you like you’ll end up eventually making some friends. Maybe this forum is a good place to start? I don’t know, hope my advice was useful.

I'm really sorry you feel like this. I've had the same problem recently, and I know it's tough to cope with. You're doing good though, reaching out and trying to talk about it. Maybe you could make some friends on here, play games with them or something?

I totally agree.. I've been really stressed these past few weeks and I've never ever been good at taking time for myself...I just dont know how to make myself

Yeah, I find it tough to keep them too. But I'm sure you'll find some people who understand and have patience. We can try to be friends, if you want? :3

Talking to people online helps at times, I used to make a lot of friends online when I felt lonely, and whilst I can't do that anymore, it definitely helped when I could. A lot of the times, they weren't necessarily meaningful friendships in any way, but it mostly kept me entertained and made me forget for a good amount of time. Having said that, I'm still acquainted with most of the people I met online til this day or contact/check up on them every so often, you'd be surprised the people you meet even if you don't become the closest of friends.

 

I also used to use Whisper a lot to waste time, it's anonymous so no risk of being found out by peers but most probably, conversations don't last very long there.
