I don't have any friends and my family is spread apart, I feel like i'm imprisoned in my house even though i'm not. The outside world to me is just a ocean of strangers who could never be anything to me but I don't enjoy my solitude in fact i long for a friend or relationship I just cannot create a relationship i don't know what to think about my dilemma... anyone think this is a normal feeling?

    you feel this way might because you are hurted so many times by your own peoples. that is why you've been feeling like this.
    you better just walk on your own way because strangers never help anyone.

    I'm pretty much the same way. I'm not good at meeting new people or engaging in spontaneous conversations. I mostly feel like an outsider socially compared to most. Although, I do have a couple friends and some acquaintances.

    Be friendly, and introduce yourself to others. Then, they will be more likely to approach you as well. Don't get discouraged if you run into bitches, assholes, etc. There are also nice people open to meeting other new people.

    Just smile or say hello when passing people. We are all human if they tell you to fuck off theyre the rude ones.

    I hear that loneliness causes a lot of problems in a person, most are true but others are just the product of alienation due to being "That one bloke that doesn't socialize." I too am the product of long term lonliness and frankly I say go out there lest you get used to being alone and forget what having friends is like. It's a real damn thing. Whether you reach out over the internet and find mates to hang out with in person or join some sort of group. Idk what age you are or if you're in school but do that shit before you forget what it's like. You don't want to be that bloke who distrusts everyone and feels separate that's a one way ticket to problems with depression and seclusion. Look for groups, hangouts, clubs whatever. Do that shit.

    Engage with others through shared interests. The dog walking one is a decent idea. If you're a student, your school likely has some way to involve yourself with the community, like clubs.

    The important thing to keep in mind here is that it is on you to change. Nobody else can swoop in and fix this problem for you.

    Normal for you to feel like that in your circumstances, but not healthy to allow it to continue.

    You must have some interests: eg if it's reading, hang around your local library; sport that's obvious even if it's only to watch .... whatever ......

    If you like dogs, get one from a shelter and walk it, you'll meet lots of other dog owners
