I feel alone.

I know it’s the christmas season and i should feel happy about seeing my family all together but I can’t get into it.

It isn’t just the season. I have felt like this for a while. Uneeded. A fifth wheel if you will. I don’t search out new friendships and the ones I have I feel I can leave with little or no impact.

I want to leave but I can’t bring myself to do it.

i am 32 and have felt that way many times. hopefully you r in the same position as me, because when i felt that way, after talking with family and friends i realized that was not true. it was all MY self esteem and MY feelings. non of it was comming from them. I hope everything works out for you. I would talk to ur family and friends before leaving though. you might feel differently after

It’s just a phase of time in which things are tough. Realize your family loves you, get together with them and spend time together, talk and tell your stories and just have a good time with them for Christmas. Realize that everything will be okay, and they still love you and won’t stop doing so. :)

I know exactly how you feel. Because I am feeling that way right now. I am spendng my Christmas here with my bf away from my counrty and home (he is french) but yet I feel empty. and he provokes me to try to be jealous with is ex. but it makes me feel like I’m unwanted. Even if everything seems good I feel alone and pressed. I don’t do good with friend now in these days. I stop intrest in making new friendships, and I’m empty one more. I wish there was another way to cheer you up but if it helps you are not alone.

And even with family I feel the same way. I almost feel lost or like if I am trying to hold on to something that’s not there?

If you dont think you can talk to your family etc as above, i always take some time out for myself gather myself and then really make a effort if this doesnt work then maybe there is an important reason you feel like this

Those are things we have to think about and discover what we want and how will it make us feel.

Although it does not solve my problem. It is kind of comforting to know tnat I’m not alone in this. I just want to feel involved rather than numb.

Dealing with emotions is the hard. Numb on the other hand- you might want to search for what makes you happy. What use to make you happy?How did you lose this happiness?

I can tell you that I write a lot. and I used to cry a lot, and I would be numb al the time. Adviced others and never accepted there input. But I found happiness once in the pitts of darkness. I soon came to realize that I do have a heart beneath the shadows that cloud my spirit. We just have to take a big step and do efforts and maybe by making others happy (smile or comment) that will open us up a little bit more. Sounds funny but I do try and it help at times. I go out and try to enjoy the sky, the breez, or sit down out side of a caffee and people watch while i drink.

I don’t know. I have felt good, but not happy…. does thta make sense?

over the last 2 years I have dealt with falling in love while knowing that nothing would happen and realising that the only solution was to remove myself from her life. This despite the fact we were good friends.

I know this is the center of my problem, I just can’t deal with it.

The first two she did. Thats friendship. The second two… well thats asking a little more. This is where the problems stared….. I was involved more than she ever would be…. and I knoew that. Isaw where it was headed but tried to pretend that all was good on a friedship level… in the hope that the friendship could be saved. I was wrong. I eventually felt terrible through my pretending, sure she disn’t know, but I was lying to myself.

This is why the friendship has ended. I was sick of pretending.

well exactlly what i did and sometimes do here and there, I don’t want t say thatbeing honest to your self is a must because that has gotten me in to troubles before. You just have to play t smart without sharing so much and gain very little. ambition is the perfect thing that must come to mind when you search for your self.

thanks.

I’ve spken to a heap of people about this. All have different idea’s/opinions. None have helped yet.

I think I just have to keep on my path. Push her out of my life completely and hope that other friendshps on both sides are not affected.

Harsh, but like bandage, it needs to be removed sometime…… I ned to get this off.

I want to be happy again…… I know I can’t be happy with this hanging over me.

I also need a break. If this means being un-emotional and taking what I can get in the short term…. so be it… But I need an emotional release and I have no idea where to find that.

yes take enough time needed you’ll soon come to find out that it has been healed. That will be the road that you need to make efforts on to lead to a path that guides you to happiness. It will be over soon, and a new women will finally step before you. you just need to relax and let the emotions heal by them self. but try to do efforts if you see no progress. Think about your needs, they will make you feel good at the end.
