I Am Lonely

I'm feeling really lonely right now :(
Everyone around me is always busy and when I finally do get to spend time with people, it doesn't always help me get over this feeling. I do see people regularly (e.g. at college) but it is not the kind of connection I crave.
I want someone who is like a best friend who I can be myself with. Someone who will give me a hug when I feel down and misses me when we have not seen each other for a while. I want to feel wanted. Obviously, I can't rely on people too much, but even just sometimes would be nice.

I also am usually very open about my feelings with people, but I've noticed that it either bores them or it doesn't really fix what is bothering me. So, on one hand, I want to talk less about my feelings in hopes it might make people enjoy my company more but on the other hand, this just adds to the loneliness. I kind of use websites like this as my 'ranting bin' sometimes, but I wish I was in a better mood so I can post more cheerful things.

You don’t have to be in a good mood to post things necessarily

@SW-User Yeah I know :) I feel bad posting depressing things like this though, I want to post positive and cheerful things on here but sometimes I feel sad and this is a good outlet
