I Am Lonely

I’m truly convinced that I’ll be lonely forever. I battle insecurity and depression. I’m chronically insecure and can’t fathom the thought of myself in a relationship. I’m 17 and I’ve never been in a relationship, had my first kiss/ held hands etc. Guys don’t show interest either. I’m also different and unique artsy, creative and I have a lot to offer I’m just... stuck and feel like no one understands or related to that part of me. And this year I cut off a friend because we were having troubles and I don’t regret it. But she was my only close friend but now I’m my only friend. It’s gonna take some getting used to I guess. I get lonely and cry when I’m alone. And it’s awkward having mutual friends with my ex friend. I don’t know what to do now I’m a loner. No one to text. To relate to. Stay in touch with everyday or send anything to. I’m so so isolated and no one understands.

I know what it's like to not really have any friends to talk to, no one to hold you, and care about you. I've always been challenged with meeting women and/or making friends.

Have you considered joining any MeetUp.com groups for topics which interest you? You might be able to meet people with whom you have common interests that way.

You might also consider counseling, if your parents and/or insurance will cover the costs for your depression, etc. If you go this route, don't be afraid to try different counselors if you don't click with the first one(s) you see. Each is unique.

I’ve sctually never heard of meetup but I’ll check it out. One things for sure though and that’s that my insecurity will definitely hinder me from guys even though I do want a bf which is weird. But I’m going to work on myself one baby step at a time. And I will seek some type of help soon. 💙@EnigmaticGeek

@Unicorndust Well, if you ever need a friend to listen, and be non-judgmental, I'm available. I hope I was some help! 🤗
