Learning to cope with loneliness?

Not good with the my emotions been wanting to kill myself more then often lately, I think it's because people I actually want in my life keep abandoning me.. I know I'm not good enough for people and it shows because I'm always alone.. I don't think there will be anymore good days for me

You sound depressed. It might be time to see a psychiatrist and get some meds.

I've had a lot of bad luck with people, too, and have trouble making friends. It is just hard for some of us. Getting a dog or cat can help a bit by providing companionship and regular company. Dogs are umtimately loyal animals and don't suddenly dump their human friends.

I do understand how it can get to be too much on some days. Swimming regularly has helped me feel less depressed. Fresh air and exercise can put a brighter face on life.

Please feel free to message me, reminding me of this conversation here. If you get a chance to read my Featured story, you'll know I have not come from a happy optimistic background and that I know what it is to feel fear of people and socializing.

Message me any time and let me know how you're doing. I will answer.
