yah talk to us ;)

were all alone on this desolate planet. Hate the world and fate not yourself

no problem.
so what’s going on? why do you feel this way?

This is the same person as before, just decided to use a different email from now on to register… I have friends, but they have all been very unreliable lately… I’ve been really depressed and just needing to just hang out or talk or anything at all, and every one of them is busy or worse, they say they are gonna call me or text me to hang out later in the day and then never do. I’m living by myself for the first time, thinking I don’t want to be by myself the rest of my life… last night I did end up just getting out of the house and going to this party right after I posted for the first time, but even at the party, I only knew one or 2 people, and surrounded by so much noise and people, I still felt alone. I think there’s something wrong with my social skills. I feel better than I did at my lowest point last night, but I feel like the low points will just keep returning…

but seriously, thank you so much for caring.

you know what try to go out more and join a jim or a clup, this way you’ll get to meet new people and have better social skills… and get the “i’m all alone idea” out of your head… you never are

they are my friends though, and some of them I consider to be very close friends… if I can’t count on my friends, what is left?

Imagine another person was like hard-wired to you so that they would know exactly what you were thinking or feeling at any given time. That’s [ideally] what we’re all after, we would never feel alone, but, think about it. This other person would have no time to be themself they would be so tuned in to you all the time. they would lose their individuality & you [or I] would feel alone again.
Back to reality, if we can find someone who’s really willing to listen some of the time, then we can share a bit of what it’s like to be us. The hard thing is finding someone who really can listen [I mean empathise and imagine how the other is feeling] and also can commit to that for a certain period of time. Of course, the other person wants to be ‘listened’ to as well. I have noone like this in my life, I have had severe depression for 2 1/2 years, but I have a therapist who is the best listener Ive come across in 25 years of on and off therapy, so even if I’m paying for it, I’m making the most of it while I have that person around.
If I were you I’d try & find a therapist to talk to, or be honest & tell ur friends how u r feeling. If they’re good friends theyll stay friends with u. At least write down how ur feeling and perhaps share this with someone. Hang in there, dont give up ! :)

thank you…. spending some money to go to some therapy might have to happen.
