    You should know that there are many people out there just like that of all ages that feel that loneliness, and it doesn't mean because of your weight it happens to any type of person.

    This sounds so much like me. Though, the ditching friends are happening right now. I'm sorry I can't really help you. Most people would say something like "You need to get out more and make friends.", but it's hard for me to do. Just know that you aren't the only one that feels like this and I hope you find a good friend soon.

  • The best advice I can give you is to feel confident and try to make friends. That goes for you to Dizzee. I honestly think that if you have confidence in yourself then people want to be around you. I know that attaining a high self-esteem isn't easy but here are some tips. Look in the mirror and give yourself a compliment everyday. Also, keep a positive attitude by telling yourself that today is going to go well. By having a positive outlook on things, life won't be so bad. I truly hope that both you and Dizzee find real friends who care about both of you. Peace.

    When you look around it seems like everyone is happy when they have friends. Most people are more unhappy when they have friends. Friendships cause a lot of trauma. So don't think that whenever you see people with friends that they are having a great time. But then their are good friendships but those are hard to find. Focus in on accepting yourself for who you are and what your good at. Find your passion and then you'll have people to share it with. The more you build yourself up the better you will be at facing people. I'm going through a similar situation. For a while I would go home and cry after school but now I thank God everyday for what I have. I try to meditate and ask God for help. If your concious of your weight then take the initiative to work out and build yourself inside and out. Good luck and God bless!

    I'm sure you've heard this before, but go out and find new friends. Put yourself out there. People should except you for who you are. You'll never know how someone is going to react to you if you don't give them a chance to. People change throughout time, and that causes people to grow apart. But I am sure that there are many people out there that have a same viewpoint or interest as you and would love to be your friend. So go out into the world and meet people. Feeling like you are alone sucks, I'm somewhat experiencing that feeling right now, but you can't hide from people because they hurt you. Just don't let people put you down and stay positive, finding a bestfriend isn't easy and is a little time consumig, but you will find some people that care about you and will stick around for you.
