I think im just lonely, but im different to most people and I hate that I am, its like im not confident with my own choices or what I like to do. And I feel because im not doing what everyone else is that'll I miss out and regret it, even though I hate it.

For example..
I went to a group once because I wanted to make new friends, so I went along and just all the people and no one was like me, I just wanted to escape..
I never went back, now another group similar has come up and it interests me but I just don't like it, but I feel if I don't try it again i'll miss out on friends or something.

Im hitting rock bottom and my mind is in overdrive.

My best friend is online and when hes not around im lonely as fuck and its like im back in reality. I cannot find people like me in real life, is it cause we all come to the internet world? Idk. I think about seeing a doctor but my mum says I need to get over this on my own and that Im being stupid and stop worrying.

    I'm in the same boat myself because I'm often over-analyzing and second-guessing. It's more common than you think but it doesn't make it any less tough on the individual.

    Part of it may be having too much spare time. When I occupy myself or go to work, I find myself worrying less by taking my mind off things. Same with the times I get to hang out with friends, so, by all means, I'll echo what was said above.

    There ARE others out there! They can be difficult to find but don't give up.

    If you can't find like-minded people around you, check for local people with your interests online and meet up. You could also check community websites for any clubs or gatherings. It's a good way to meet new people.

    HOWEVER: With those suggestions, make sure there's a level of trust. You don't want to be put into a potentially dangerous situation, especially with people you've never met in person. Be safe in that case.

    Overthinking is a problem I struggle with nearly every day myself and these are just some ways I'm able to combat it. It won't be easy, but not many things are. Hope it all works out!

    There must be something you are passionate about. Sewing, running, swimming, biking, anime, etc. There are others just as passionate. If you get together with them you will automatically have something in common with these people and they will value your input.
    Figure out where these people hang out and join in. It will be easy to make friends if you are with people who enjoy the same things as you do.

    I feel like that myself. I have a tough time relating to most people. I go to events sometimes, but end up feeling like an outsider. There isn't much to say when you can't relate. Some people seem to be able to talk to anybody, but it doesn't work for me. Once in awhile I can relate, but that seems few and far between.
