I’m tired of people but I’m the loneliest I’ve ever been in my entire life.

My family consists of a bratty little sister and a clueless (though well-meaning) mother. My “friends” are always unavailable and dishearteningly cold. I miss my ex-boyfriend; we dated for two years, and now he doesn’t even speak to me. It hurts…

I feel like a freak. Nobody is the same as me here. I don’t have anyone to relate to. The only person who might understand is always with her own boyfriend, and that makes me feel disconnected from her.

In two years, I can get out of here. But will anywhere I go be any less lonely?

People come and go and certainly, the only constant in life is change. Now it is time for you to search on nice things that you want to do to make yourself enjoy living everyday. What are your hobbies? do you like sports? do you like to organize a youth community outreach? what about sports? there are so many things that can be done.

And most of all, have fun.

I hate to say it,but ya, probalby anywhere you go you will be lonely, UNLESS you see that we are all the same in the area of feelings,problems,thoughts and realize that people NEED people.You’ve probably ,just like anyone else ,has been taken advantage of, stabbed in the back,etc..And just don’t know how to handle people.And thats the norm.,so your not alone.Trust me.Don’t assume that no-one understands or cares.since the ones around you seem this way,make new friends,This is a great site for that if you dont know already.

Hi! The one thing that stood out about your post is that I am obviously about a decade older than you. The only reason I mention this is because I am just barely old enough to realize almost everything my mother tried to teach me was right and true. If your mom seems clueless to you it’s probably because she doesn’t or doesn’t want to remember being so young. People say teenagers are over emotional, but I don’t think that is exactly true. I think that emotions are like a newborn babies skin. It’s so soft and delicate or dare I say sensitive? Just as babies mature and their skin gets tougher so do emotions. My best advice is to embrace what you are feeling now and find a constructive release. Some of the best ideas I’ve ever had were born from pain! As for your cold uninterested friends, if you really need them and they aren’t there for you then let them go. Life is too short and too hard to waste on people who don’t appreciate you. On the other hand, if they’re usually good friends and they’re ignoring you this one time then perhaps they have bigger problems of their own right now. (Did you ask them? Are you being a good friend to them right now? Are they just sick of people whining at them?) Only you can answer those questions. Good luck honey and I’m never too busy to listen!
