Crying fits

Sorry to hear about your loneliness. I’ve had a small taste of what it’s like to have no friends or anyone there for you. With my friends it was mostly a misunderstanding and we got over it pretty quickly so things returned to normal for me after.

Loneliness is a terrible place to be and I know it’d probably drive me to suicide as I tend to lose all motivation to live at that point.

You do have this site and most people here are usually quite helpful and supportive. I realize it’s not the same as having a living breathing person in front of you, but it’s still better than nothing.

I’d advise trying to re-unite with people you know from your past since you already had some connection with them before, family would be best, if not friends. I realize as well that people aren’t so kind to others when they sense they’re in a position of need…but if they’re understanding, they won’t hold that against you.

If you have no friends/family you can reach out to, then consider volunteering, going to church (if you’re religious), seeing a therapist or joining some club/hobby/group/food bank/charity so that you’ll get some kind of interaction with others and I think that’ll help a lot. It’ll still take time to build true friendships but just act normal-since people tend to get scared or turned off by desperation.

I’m not too happy with the friends I have now but they’re good enough and I plan to reconnect with some best friends from my past and make new ones in the future to broaden my social network. I’m also reconnecting with a couple of family members so we’ll see how that goes. Try not to feel so bad since you’re not totally alone (we’re here) and other people have also experienced what you’re going through. Best of luck.
