I feel like everybody is moving forward but me. people around me are doing things with their lives, maybe not the best things but at least they aren’t stuck like me. it’s like life is a road and everyone is going ahead and then there is me who is just standing still. even if I want to move forward I can’t because it feels like my feet are glued to the ground, stopping me.
I don’t have that many people in my life and that’s ok for an introvert because the people i had were real and true and honest. but now all of them have left me without saying a word and I am just here, not knowing how to react or what to do.
the little things piled up and then it felt like life hit me hard out of nowhere in every fucking area and now i am left shattered. I don’t know if i should cry or talk to someone or just accept it and move on.
i am stuck in this vicious cycle and I can’t move forward.

Hi there,
Best thing to do is to ignore where others are at if it’s not helping you get better.
We all have our struggles, things that aren’t going great, etc, it’s just that it’s a lot harder to see it with social media highlighting only the better aspects. And of course, being here means there are other things that some people don’t have to worry about as much.
It’s rough in the US with cost of living going up and what not, it’s really a rough time.
If you need it, def talk to someone. Noone will be mad at you for just trying, as difficult as it can be.
Hope this helps.
I feel your pain. I’ve lost many people in my life and I too am introverted. People can be disappointing and sometimes it’s just best to do the things you like to do. If u need someone to chat with, here’s my email. Only if you want someone to talk to: morganb58@yahoo.com.
I figured out in high school I needed a somewhat large pool of friends to count on, as over time, I’d lose many. Not because of fights or anything, but people always move or go in a different direction in life.
Fortunately I really lucked out in university. Made a handful of friends. The ones I knew in high school, who I thought would always be there are gone…just drifted away.
For one’s mental health, it’s always important to have a few contacts in your life that you can count on through thick and thin, both as friends and family.
Nobody has a ‘perfect life’ people just pretend to. But if you can reach out to these people that left without saying a word, hopefully they’ll be willing to be friends again, assuming there’s no beef between you and them.
Speaking personally, I don’t think I could live long being alone. In some rare cases you might be able to make good friends from work but it’s a long shot.
On a positive note, with social media, another longshot, but you might be able to find people in the same boat as you and make new friends that way.
I would like to expand my circle too…but then I’m pretty picky about who I’d let into my life. I’d rather try to hunt down people in my past and try to be friends again with them since we know each other.
