friends help: i feel so empty. - Help.com

i feel so empty.

I mean in my home i have a GREAT life. I always take it for granted but deep down i know i’m way better off than some of my friends. in school i’m known everyone, i have friends in the 7th and 8th grades and i’m friends with so many people and people say i’m the nicest person they’ve ever met and stuff. i had a fun day today hanging out with my secret special person, and my other friends. playin video games, it was awesome. after he gave me a big everlastin hug and it was good then. But then i get on the computer and i go on here and i have a total random breakdown. I don’t know If i’m hiding my sadness of the 2nd aniversary of a friend’s death subconsciencly. I know that I’m being sad because i just sat down and thought, wow some people really aren’t my friends. I realized that some people just say i’m their friend because i’m always there. But when i’m down i feel like there’s really no one that i feel wont judge me or pretend to care and just apply it to themselves when they are done and go “wow i’m such a good person!”.
Its a real long story but its like, i’ve talked to 3 people and it seems like they are totally different. They are there, but it seems like everyone is in on a practical joke. Am I crazy? maybe i’m being too over drammatic. my friend actually told me that they felt bad cuz they couldn’t relate to how i was feeling because they NEVER sit down and think of the bad things in life! I’VE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF SADNESS HAPPEN TO ME LIKE THIS EVER! if you knew me you would say that i could never frown. well i never could. I fear that i’m portraying a negative side of me to all my friends, but i am always cheery at school. i dunno.. what should i do?? is there really anything i can do? or is this like, what u go through in early teen years.

Don’t worry at all. Being sad or depressed is not always a bad thing. It lets you know that you’re not just a zombie going throught the motions and helps to identify the things that really matter to you. It also gives you the opportunity to make changes it your life. You’ll feel better again soon.

I know it does :) Treat yourself to something you enjoy. Sometimes that can help make you feel like yourself again.

Stress is just a measure of how much you are living, struggling is how you learn outside of the classroom. The backstage application of that math class, and what you learn analyzing a book provide you with tools to help overcome trouble. Worry if you must, you have a large margin of thought before you reach the dangerous stages of “paralysis of analysis.” You should keep considering who your friends are and what is real and who you are, but if you feel it is too much, then slow down and be an “early teen” because worrying just seems to be a part of teen years and you will have plenty ahead of you.

This is really a natural part of being human. It only makes you stronger, emotionally, really. This is the same for many people. Watch your negative emotions, accept them, and don’t allow yourself to drown in them, but learn. If you feel something, there is always a reason behind it. If you think something, there is always a reason behind it. Analyze what you have felt, and check. One thing though: most people do things because they want to feel like they are a great person, rather than out of sincere compassion. That’s normal in this world. On the other hand, figure out who cares about you, and make sure you know who is your friend but doesn’t… because those friends are enemies in a difficult situation, rather than help. Those who care about you, on the other hand, will stick by you no matter what you do, and those are the people you keep close to you.

Best wishes.

it’s not bad at all– means you’re human. you question whats good in your life to ensure that it is true. you understand there are people who put on a mask to “be your friend” because they know YOU’RE worthwhile. don’t think about it too much, but it helps create the trust you need in your life with your friends. as for the 2nd year of your friend– it’s quite possible. going back to the month they passed is hard, brings back the fact they aren’t there because time passing is inevitable. bring your friend up and talk about the good times with someone- it may be therapuetic for you.

Hey. I don’t know if you will even check this anymore, but I still wanted to leave you a reply.

Some people feel thinks deeper than others. That doesn’t mean that you are odd or weird. It means that you are a deeper person. Even if there are people around you that were close to your friend, they aren’t going to experience it in the same way.

Don’t be afraid to express how you truly are. Allow yourself the freedom to break free from the feeling of needing to live up to an expectation of how you are, even if you made that expectation yourself. Allow yourself to grieve. And allow yourself to experience joy.

And, it is normal to go through this in junior high and high school. Don’t be afraid to become the person that you were made to be, just because your friends, or even yourself, aren’t used to that person yet.
