Is it normal to give up on life?

Everything in my life that means a lot to me can never stay. In the past year, I have lost 3 of my best friends because they all moved away, now I'm left with like 1 good friend and a bunch of people I just talk to but aren't my friends. I lost the only guy I ever really liked when he died in a car accident a few months ago. I lost my iPod and DSi when someone spilled iced tea all over them. I've lost the feeling of happiness since I've lost all my friends and I can't seem to make any new ones to replace them. All I'm left with is emptiness and sorrow, neither of which seem like they're ever going to go away. I'm losing my grip on reality now because I've become an introvert (well, I've always been shy, but, it's worse now than ever) and resort to gaming because I have nothing left in my life that holds a lot of meaning. I'm afraid to make new friends because they'll leave my life if they do. I've grown emotionally distant from everything in fear that whatever I become attached to will be taken away. The only emotions I feel now are sorrow, apathy, anger, and jealousy. And so, I've pretty much given up on life because if I find meaning in something, it'll be taken away from me and I don't want to be hurt anymore than I already am. Is this normal?

    Not really ..you're just shaken by your past experiences .. You should get positive .. It could be so much worse..

    I don't want to sound cliche and new agey, but really try looking into The Secret. Try to attract the better into your life. Don't daydream about a positive outcome but believe in it that it is part of your reality and a logical prediction.

    I feel like that sometimes too but I always say to myself that things will get better and I believe in God as much as I can.

    It is good to try to be unatached from the things you love, because that way you dont feel bad about losing them. But it is not good to become too attached on things and then lose them.

    I think you need to lose the feeling of attachment towards outward things instead of feeling bad for losing them.

    Things in life come and go, but what is inside of you is what matters because it is what you will carry around for life.

    Listen to some good music, relax and let things come and go. External associations can never fulfll a person.
