buoyantcat Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 why am i so lonely? why does it seem like i really don't have any friends? i turned down my first invite to a college party tonight. i don't drink, smoke, and i don't feel like being around people who do. so i called my only two friends, tried to find them. i will say i was unsuccesful. i am a loser....driving around on a friday night, trying to find someone who will hang out with me. why am i such a loser? why do i feel so alone? why am i so bad at socializing? why don't i want to socialize? why do i talk to myself badly? the fire inside me is burning very low. life sucks. i am doing okay right now, i guess. but i am a very depressed and sad person. i need help. i can't seem to find someone/something to help me. i don't know what to do. maybe i should turn to meds....it seems like it would work.... what is wrong with me?

Shoe Panda Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 My counselor in Hawaii once told me that there's a difference between being alone and being lonely. I'm sorry you're lonely, buoyantcat. Believe me, if anyone knows what that's like, it's me. >< I do that too--drive around trying to find someone, something, that will fill the emptiness. I plan my schedule not only around when someone says they'll call me, but when they MIGHT call me. I wish I knew the answer, but the truth is I'm in the same spot...the loneliest person on earth. *hugs* I hope it helps knowing that someone understands. It helps me to know that you do.

twilight Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 *HUGS* I know how u feel. I seem to have pushed all my friends away from me cos i just couldn't stand the socialising stuff and didn't want to be with anyone. But it does feel so crap to be so lonely, it feels to me that ppl don't care but then in my case i know its my own fault for pushing ppl away. You don't have to be the sort of person that goes out drinking and smoking, theres loads of other stuff out there but its hard to reach out to when you've feeling so depressed. I find its hard to be with ppl but its hard to be without them! I don't know what i can advise u cos theres no quick answer but know that we are here for u, and although u feel lonely, know that u are not alone (if that makes sense!).

buoyantcat Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Thank you. It does help knowing that someone understands how I feel. I just wish it didn't hurt so bad sometimes. Things are going a little bit better. Classes start on Monday, so I know that will keep me busy for the week. Thank you for being there for me, Panda and Twilight. You guys are cool.
