I'm always lonely

68% Normal
14 Comments

I always feel lonely and it makes me really depressed. People ask me to hang out, but I always make up excuses because I don't want to hang out with them, but then I complain about being lonely. I don't want to be lonely, but I don't want to hang out with most people. It's a trap. I love two people (my best friend and boyfriend) and hang out with them only, but they're not always available and it's tough to only have two people to rely on. Sometimes I just wish I could enjoy other people's company, but they're just so damn annoying you know. I'd like to go to parties now and then (I'm that desperate at this point) but I don't know when they happen or where because I keep to myself all the time. I wish life wasn't so boring and lonesome. Advice? Normal?

    i feel the exact same way! sometime i like to have some quality time with myself but there are times when i feel like im so lonely and im on my own (im studying in a foreign country, no fam). i do think i need to be more open to people and be outgoing. i just need to find that courage and confidence :(

    I know how you feel. Much of my life has been like this.
    Dig deep and find a little courage, join a club or something. If you are in a crowd of people who have different interests, you'll simply be alone in a crowd. Find a place and a people who like what you like and you'll find them a lot less annoying.

    Well you can't expert the world to come to you. Be proactive about it and head out there and actively meet new friends.

    Maybe it's not them that's annoying, maybe it's you.

      I'd consider that, but if I was annoying I don't think people would ask me to spend time with them.

    reach out, you've got two pretty solid connections. you'd be surprised how much people are willing to help with these kinds of feelings. its not all on them though, your mentality matters. give the annoying people another shot. dont be afraid to tell people what you're interested in; i find a lot of common ground in tv shows n things like that. do you have a job? make friends at work or network with customers. pick up a commonly read magazine at chapters and buy a coffee if you're REALLY desperate haha but you get what im sayin

      Yeah, I've struggled with depression for awhile now and that might be the main cause of this. I'd like to know though, and see how many other people feel this way. Thanks for the advice!
