I feel so lonely and sad all the time?
i am 18, female. i pass most of my time alone by imagining things or just listening to music. i don't have any friends. i've been friendless pretty much my entire life. all i do all day(everyday) is sit in my bedroom. i find it very difficult to even go outside and try to make friends. i haven't been outside to just take a walk in 4 years(main reason for that is because my parents never really allowed me to go outside, not alone anyways...but im 18 now so....). i have poor social skills, and social anxiety, it sucks. i never know what to say to people. i mostly just say ''yeah'' and ''okay'' and ''oh'' ...anyway, im so lonely and i don't know what to do. i sometimes just want to die, and end the pain. i feel like a little girl trapped in a cage. i hate my appearance, and my personality. everyone around me is so much prettier than me. i feel worthless & useless. i sometimes cut myself, and i am deeply ashamed of it. i've been crying on and off all day today. i am not close with my family, other than my oldest brother that is, but he's almost never home, he is always out somewhere doing drugs or something. well i am somewhat close with my oldest sister, as well. but i hardly ever get to see her since we live 5 hours apart... anyway, how can i stop feeling this way? thanks. by the way, i asked this question once already but would like to get a few more answers..
I feel sad and alone...?
Im a 13 year old girl and lately i've been feeling really alone...I feel like im losing all my friends. I don't really have any close friends anymore, I used to but we're drifting apart. I'm also not close to my family at all. I just want someone I can tell everything to and someone I can trust. It's really hard for me to trust someone. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like just giving up on trying to get a close, good friend. I also feel sad sometimes...Also my dad suffers from depression.Sometime I feel happy and sometimes I feel sad...Is this normal?
I have no friends and I feel very sad and lonely. What can I do?
It appears that you think you're sad and lonely because you don't have any friends. That's probably not true, though.What's probably true is that you don't have any friends because you're sad and lonely.It's also possible that there's something else about you that is pushing people away. I don't know. I know that, in my case, I have very few friends and spend a lot of time alone, but I'm not at all sad or lonely.How does it happen? No one can know for certain except you and the people you hang around. Would it be possible to contact some people who used to hang with you and no longer do? Just ask them. Tell them they have nothing to lose by being honest with you. And be grateful for their feedback.Maybe you'll have another question to ask Quora soon.
Feeling sad, frustrated, and alone. What should I do?
I don't have all the answers but I think I can do better than Joey. Whatever else may be going on, you are unquestionably depressed and there are things you can do about this. Try not to worry about whether or not you are worth the trouble. You are, but depression makes you feel as though you are not. Therapy is an excellent idea; it can be very effective if you are willing to give it your best. If your current therapist isn't helping you even though you are trying, find a different therapist. Even if yours is competent, it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. Find someone you can work with and work with them. Same with medications: some can be very helpful but it's all trial and error. The right medicine for you should ease your symptoms with minimal side effects. Give it a little time but don't settle for less. There is a lot you can do outside of therapy and medication to help with depression. One of the best is exercise, enough to elevate your heart rate and breathing and to make you tired. I mostly don't like to take the trouble, and I understand if you feel the same but it is very helpful. Do what you can to stabilize your sleep patterns, diet, and recreational activities. All of these are keys to progress. Light exposure and fish oil capsules for Omega 3 fatty acids are definitely worthwhile. A multivitamin and mineral supplement is in order if your diet is less than ideal. The most important things under your control are your attitudes and your actions. Since you cannot directly control your feelings or the actions of others, these are what you have to work with. I use prayer too but I was slow to learn that prayer is not a substitute for effort. You may not be the one who got you into this mess but you are definitely the one who can get you out of it. Your home and family life sounds like quite a challenge, You must employ some combination of acceptance and change to set yourself free. The only one you can change is yourself,but your changes might require adjustments on the part of others. Reclaim your life and accept the help of others and it won't be long before you are able to give help as well as accept it. I wish you joy and peace.
Why do I often feel sad and lonely?
Sadness and loneliness is a result often of failing to love ourselves. We can be alone and not be lonely. I have lived alone now going on 20 years and rarely feel lonely or sad about my life.I did however, feel this way often until I saw myself though the love of Jesus and how He views me and forgave myself and others.When this happened I began to ask Him to show me how I can bless others in my this alone time. And HE answered that prayer in many different ways and directions. First my alone time gave me opportunity to spend time with HIM where he revealed to me who I am and things that I needed to change or do and how I should spend my days.Sad and loneliness if often a result of becoming totally self focused, and God never intended this to be our focus. As we focus on HIM and how we can be used to bless others this will find our alone times to become productive, and deeply spiritual and satisfying in many ways.We begin to appreciate each day and seek ways to spend it in love and seek the blessing we can only fine in walking alone with God.He will open doors and give us time to reach out and help others that when we are consumed by ourselves and our own needs we often miss the best friends and opportunities he can provide us.We, will appreciate and value our social times at a deeper level then when it is a constant in our lives.We allow for God to grow us in ways not possible when always in a crowed or with another.In my own mother for years she could not bear to be alone with herself due to the feelings and thoughts of regret and guilt.When we give God our times alone we will find treasures that can actually see us holding close to our hearts those special times we can find ourselves and build a deeper relationship with God and others as we discover that in silence and being alone comes a deep sense of life and purpose and gratitude for each day. And as we develop this in our own lives you may find God begins to see you actually fighting for and seeking those alone moments more and more.And when the season of this alone time coming to an end find you walking in a deeper confidence and security in HIM and yourself for what he showed you on that journey of being alone.My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray you will discover as I have during this alone season of my life deeper love of God, myself and others and greater purpose for each day.
Is it normal to feel sad for no reason?
Yes. It is. And sometimes, it is good for you.Take your time, feel sad, feel lonely, feel isolated, dejected, lost. It may be because of the people you love, a book, a movie, even a song, an article maybe; it may be the people around you because they talk to you too much or they don't talk at all. You can feel sad even when you have everything and nothing to be sad about. But there are things that'll make you want to walk the length of an empty corridor, sit in an empty classroom and stare out of the window. Maybe you are missing someone very close. Maybe you are confused and scared. Maybe you feel helpless. You can't fix everything. You can never make sure everything is okay. No matter how much you try, you are not being able to climb higher than your present self.It is absolutely okay, during these times, to sit back and take a minute or two. Detach yourself. Cry if you want to. But stand up again. At the end of the day, you are alone in this world. Everyone is. But the sooner one realises this, the better.Like others have said before me- don't let it take over you for too long though. Try and get back to something engaging soon after.
I like being sad, lonely and depressed. Is it ok?
Hey, i felt the very same way as you did before i met my boyfriend. I was content being a loner. I'd struggled with depression for the longest time, had a few attempted suicide missions as a teenager - but i'm over that. Moral of the story: i was so used to being sad feeling anything else for me was weird. Strange. I loved to cry all night listening to sad songs about heartbreak etc... When i met my bf - he was the complete opposite. Very happy and bubbly. The first time he saw me cry or get sad about something, he was SOOO ANNOYING trying to cheer me up. LOL I hated being cheered up. I PREFERED being sad. Feeling numb and empty. I even went as far as wondering if he did drugs?! how could anyone be so happy all the time! UNTIL, slowly but surely, i because a happier person. I still prefer being along, i LOVE my sad songs and have a good cry for any reason every now and then, but i'm not wallowing in my sadness pity-party. The BF showed me what happiness was like. I still identify more with sadness and stuff, but that's why i always wear black. There''s something strangely fulfilling about crying over how sad you actually are. NOW - get up and sign up for online dating. That's how i met the man. PS. A RELATIONSHIP isn't the answer. Just saying it might help. I still had to face my demons eventually.... But once you do, you'll be better for it. Good luck!
