friends help: I seriously just want somebody to talk to. - Help.com

I seriously just want somebody to talk to.

Yeah, I’ve got friend but they are wrapped up in their lives, and I wouldn’t expect any less of them. I’d do anything I could to help them no matter what, I just wished sometimes they were as concerned for me. I used to bother them all the time about my problems, and they were there for me..but I know it gets old after a while. Plus we’ve all grown up and apart since those days..then we were kids, now we’ve all got families of our own.

I know any one of them would be here in a heartbeat if I ever just called and told them I needed them, but I can’t do that. I just need other people to talk to now. If any of you out there don’t mind talking to me it would be appreciated..oh and when I say ‘talk’ I mean chat online, email or whatever.. just communication in some form or another. BTW, I’m a good listener too, so it doesn’t have to be all about me.

Spill huh? Hmmm.. While I do wanna communicate with somebody I really don’t want to just put everything out there for all to see like that. I’m really just looking for somebody who wants to chat and get to know me as a potential friend. Years ago I used to go into chatrooms looking for people to talk to, but that’s absolutely useless now..so… anywho, I’m brand new to this site..is there a way to talk to people on here without making it so public?

I think there’s a private chat thing on here somewhere, but I don’t know how to use it yet.

Click the megaphone on the sidebar beside your name, that gets you to shouts. They are public but not as public as posts, and they are as good as it gets here.

Nice thing is, people can’t really judge you here because no one really knows anyone.

Wow, I really like how this works, it’s kinda like a chat room in itself. I thought it was more just like a forum kind of thingy.

This is true - your next-door neighbour could be pouring her heart out to you on here and you’d never know

Ok..well, let me try this out a bit..here’s whats on my mind at current. I’ve got a friend..he used to be my best friend 10 years ago. We practicly grew up together but he got married just as I was getting divorced, and when I needed his friendship most he took off. Well, he just got a divorce a few back and hunted me down a couple of days ago and is acting like he wants to pick things up where we left off, but I really don’t know how to feel.

Take things slow = )
You can’t just jump back into where it left off and you need to build your trust with this guy back up, as how do that when you get close again he won’t just jump ship

That is a sticky situation. Does he know that he hurt you by not being there for you?

I dont think he does. He used to be there for me for everything. He was like a rock. I had a life threatening illness and he was the one who kept me from giving in. I asked him why he disappeared the last decade tho and he just shrugged it off and said it was just fated that way, but he was here now so it shouldn’t matter, but it does to me.

don’t you think it would be good for him to know how you feel about this so that it doesn’t get between the two of you? you know get it all out in the open like a fresh start?

I’ve thought about it, and maybe I might be a little selfish..but he didn’t bother with it for 10 years..so.. I guess I’m just holding on to a grudge now.

It would help you explain to him why you can’t just pick up where he thinks you left off - he hurt you and if he wants the two of you to be close again then he needs to know that. You’ve had plenty of time to think about it and move on with your life, but the re-emergence of old friends can stir up old feelings, and that’s perfectly understandable. Just try and be honest with him.

Yeah you’re all probably right about that. Well, I gotta go it’s 4:30 AM or just about and I’ve got to get some sleep and stop dwelling on stuff. I really appreciate the friendly help and advice I’ve got here tonight and I’ll definitely be back later when I get back online.

i hope this wont depress or weird you out it is a poem i have done.

Smiles frowns tears that drown,
Pain fear they are all here in a smile that be upside down,
Come and see what lurks deep inside,
Others have found it fun laughing as I have cried,

Past was measuring the worst things that had been,
CHAOS a friend when I was in need,
This pain so real why care for yourself when your viewed,
As some alien being,

Life cripples turns and sways,
Gives with one hand then snatches away,
Cry because happy, sob because I’m sad,
Never knew there would be so much pain since I was a lad,

“Live with it ,it’s only a phase “,
“There is nothing wrong with you or your life”,
Oh those were the days!!!!

Do I know my own mind?
With all those memories sadly both cruel and kind,
Smile wink, did you see me blink?
Assumptions made aspertions cast,
HA! Easy life you are having a laugh,

Just give a break for one ******* day,
You be me and then see what you have to say,
Think I’m a layabout? ,Sponge? lout?,
If you can’t understand then **** you of that there is no doubt,
Pain be real, A measure hard to FIND,
But keep pushing! ,pushing , pushing,
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Break! Break! Break!

It’s not a case of judging a book by it’s cover,
Take someone’s control & leave them bare
Give them a set of twisted rules they cannot understand & dare not share,
Throw in a mixture of abuse pain & doubt watch the sanest nicest demon pop out,
I’ve beat myself so many times not thinking I was being cruel or unkind,
This was my worth all I could be a nasty selfish non entity,
All the makings of something truly horrific its true,
But stop!!! For one second put the shoe on the other foot ,
What if this was you.

Kam4death.

even if u dont want 2 chat pls giv me sum input on this.

Hi, Its actually nothing but human to feel the need to be spoken to and cared about. I get similar feelings. You must also take into account whether the friends around you really care for you or they are friends only when they need you. They should not be taking you for granted. It happened to me and my girlfriend really does take me for granted. Sometimes I feel I am being used.

Trust me, best way to solve this feeling of lonliness is to keep exploring new social goups, people whom you may find intrest in. You might end up finding your best friend ever. Well I am still trying to find one for me…. be positive. That’s how I control my feelings.
