I Am Lonely

I truly have no one. I mean, I have a few friends that are supportive but there are no adults in my life that I feel I can go to for support and I really need it. I'm 20 but emotionally, I'm a little kid who is so afraid of the world and just wants affection/comfort and to be told it will be okay. I am struggling so, so much right now and two people came into my life at the beginning of the year wanting to help me because they were concerned and I got so attached. A lot has happened since then but a couple of months ago they said they were going to support me and be there through something I'm finding very difficult with at the moment - they said they wanted to make me feel better and I believed them. I had hope and became more optimistic that things may just turn out okay because I wasn't so alone anymore but I've recently found out that they've both left and are unable to come back and they never even said. They've kind of just... left me and I've been crying so much because I finally thought someone cared about me and now I know they don't and I have to go through it all by myself and I don't know if I can. And the fact I got attached to them makes it so much worse because it hurts knowing they could just walk away so easy when they're aware of how unable to cope I am, plus I got to know and become familiar with them and all I wanted was to feel cared for and now I won't see them again and it sucks. I just don't know how I will cope with no one to be there. I can't support myself because I'm literally helpless and have to depend on other people. Ugh idk. 😓
I can relate to feeling like a little kid even though I'm technically an adult at 19...but instead of becoming attached I push people away because I'm scared they're gonna use me or hurt me...it really sucks being lonely...I'm sorry you have to go through this

@Insomniac100 omg I relate so hard. I get attached to people so easy but I also push them away, I guess because I want them to prove they will stick around and not just leave. Idk, I'm a bit of a mess haha.

In what way are you helpless? Is it a physical thing or are you talking emotionally/psychologically?
wordsiheldback · 26-30, F
@Cheesecake Thank you :) it means a lot to hear that because I usually tell myself that I'm really bad at it, but I continue to stick with it anyway so hopefully I'm improving. :)

@wordsiheldback never give up on something you enjoy :-)
And if you ever feel despondent and need a pep-talk, just pm me. I usually check in at least once a day. You'll always be welcome :-)

@Cheesecake Thank you, that's very kind! :)
learn to believe in yourself you are your own best friend, and you deserve the love and respect as much if not more than anyone else!

@TiltingatWindmills Thank you! I am learning that I truly only have myself and I suppose that's enough. :)
@wordsiheldback @wordsiheldback I would not believe that is enough but is is important to know it is all you really need.....You seem a bright amd very attractive young woman ....The world is out there waiting for you select wisely you have your pick!

Sorry to hear, but when God leaves you lemons, make lemonade. Are your parents not in the picture?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Perhaps your folks don't understand the situation. I am a parent, I admit that happens.

@samueltyler2 They know my feelings and how much I'm struggling as I've told them so many times. There just seems to be no compassion or empathy which I really need but I think they just don't know how to give it.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
That is sad for them as well as you.

Emotionally or financially or both?
wordsiheldback · 26-30, F
@GoodoldBob emotionally
GoodoldBob · 61-69, M
@wordsiheldback Sometimes you need people you can talk to freely and who try to be understanding.
wordsiheldback · 26-30, F
@GoodoldBob yeah, I just don't think I'll ever find anyone like that anymore. Whenever I do, they just leave and it hurts. :(
