I’m finding life really hard lately. I don’t think I can do it for much longer. It’s so hard to pretend

Work, home, everything. Not messaging first for a few weeks really lets you know where other people stand. I’ve jsut realised I literally have nobody except my dog and he’s not doing so well.

I was in work today, like a training kinda day and I realised how alone I am there too. There was like a staff kinda thing and I was the only one out of like 70 staff who had no one to talk to/ was sitting alone. And it wasn’t that was isolating myself I was the first in there and the first to sit down. Nobody came over or joined it they all purposely sat elsewhere. I literally have no friends there and I’m there like 5 years. There must be something seriously wrong with me. Making it to this age and not having anybody.

I don’t think I can do this anymore. I really don’t.

Your life is just beginning. Give yourself a chance to live. There will be lows and there will be highs - every single person on the planet goes through it. Its life - and it is worth living if God wakes you up each morning.
At your age, most people are just starting their careers - there will be other jobs that will be even better. If you dont make any friends in this job, there will be friends at the next.

Most people in their early 20s are just starting to meet people as adults since they have only been grown ups for a few years. You have time on your side and these things take time.

It takes effort as well. Think of ways to project and connect with people. When I was your age, there was no internet or social media to supplement a social life. You dont even have to wait run into someone out in public (still the best way to meet people) - you can using dating apps or going to sites where people have similar interests. Getting acquainted is not difficult. I am an introvert and I am not naturally outgoing but I developed a way to sizing people up before interacting with them. It helps me meet the right kind of people. I had to work on it though.

Last but certainly not least, I would pray for someone or something good to come into my life. I dont know if you believe or not but it can help you see things differently - and you would be talking to someone who is always there. He is your friend.

@1490wayb I’m sure my alcoholic mother will find mine pretty quick and make it all about her and use it as an excuse to continue drinking leaving my autistic sister to fend for herself

Have you ever had your personality evaluated? Its free on many sites. Im not suggesting there's anything wrong with your personality. Im just saying it helps to know certain things about yourself that are constant and you're not alone. You probably have one of the rare personalities.

Im talking about the MBTI personality test. After you take the test, you will get a total breakdown on your specific personality and how you react to certain situations and what's a good setting for work, love and a bunch of other stuff. I think you'll be glad you did it.

Hope this doesn’t sound flippant but you sound exhausted and you need a self appreciation day where you reward and spoil yourself!
