I wish I could find help. I have no one I can talk to. Posting on here helps somewhat. But I want someone who can talk to me face-to-face and tell me that everything will be alright and that they’re here for me.
I can’t confide in my parents and I have no friends in real life. I used to have someone I could talk to, but I don’t think she wants anything to do with me.
I feel so lonely, isolated and depressed. It’s a relentless cycle and everyday it gets worse. For now, I still hold on because I have hope for the future, but I’m tired of waiting. Eventually, I’m going to forget about the future and just go through with it.

Put yourself in a job where you talk to people…customer service, call center, retail staff, etc. This way you can at least get some social interaction.
Actually if you work in a restaurant/bar/club, like a host or bartender, you get to know people a lot better and maybe make friends.
There are online sites also…but I personally haven’t had much success with them.
Lastly don’t expect anything to fall in your life…anything worth having takes a lot of work…finding friends, relationships, you have to make an effort.
Also be ready for lots of rejection…but out of 10 people maybe one might want to hang out with you.
Maybe the best place is any school or workplace where there’s a lot of talking and interaction.
Never tell people you don’t have friends…just ask them to hang out a few times…but they will let you know if they’re interested or not…never get needy or pushy, it’s a turn off.
In the friends dept I’m ok but I could use a few more…I need to find an s/o….but right now my life is messed up and I have to sort that out first.
I’m hoping to become self-employed and I feel I’m close. If I can pull it off and quit my day job, then I’ll have time to focus on myself and finding a partner.
If there’s any way you can access quality therapy, counselling, or other similar kinds of support, it really might help. I wish I’d done that as a teenager, back when I was still salvageable. I know some schools offer that kind of service, though how good they are can vary a lot. Some organisations fund free care for young people. Or could your family help pay for private sessions?
I’d recommend looking for someone non-judgemental, who’s willing to really listen and understand where your coming from, rather than push a particular worldview or method on you. It might be a first step to feeling less alone with your issues.
“back when I was still salvageable.”
>lol salvageable. i feel the same. i was “salvageable” when i was younger, but now, after decades of shit, i feel “unsalvageable.”
>you know husk, we might have had very different lives, but i feel like you and i feel very similar about the world and ourselves in many ways.
while it may seem bad, or unsatisfactory to talk to people, well strangers online, i guess at the moment, its all you have.
truth is, we’re not really strangers to each other over here.
everyone on this site, is posting about what they REALLY feel, instead of the lies that we tell others. everyone here, has the strength to open up, even if theyre anonymous.
fact is, we’re still here.
for you.
hey. can’t really understand your feelings. as in, maybe affectively. possibly cognitively, i can try. you probably want someone who really feels your feelings. not sure i’m that person.
Ah you cant do that… You can’t just give up and go through with it. I believe you can make it happen and you’ll meet someone you can speak to face to face. Real human interaction can be found most everywhere. Join school clubs, or after school groups. Even a counselor could help you out and offer a listening ear and face to face time. Don’t allow yourself to collapse internally. Don’t give up on yourself and give yourself a chance.

>I totally get you on that. It’s a vicious cycle that’s hard to get out of. I’m still in that cycle…for too many years/decades -_-
