Feeling lonely and hopeless.

Hey everyone,

I’m lonely and depressed. It seems as though I don’t fit in in any environment that I’m placed in. Feeling like an outcast makes me not even want to try meeting new people, because the outcome is always the same. Can anyone relate? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Who says we need to fit in all the time? Embrace your uniqueness. In today’s world conformity is the new cool. Let others follow the crowd it takes guts to do your own thing.

Yes I can relate. For me these feelings are associated with the fear of loss. Why bother getting close to others they will just let me down. It all starts from within. I can’t say this is your issue, but if it is than take the time to do some healing. That healing can happen in new relationships. I have learned to be upfront with new friends. Allow yourself to be venerable. Trust that others care for you in the same manner you are capable of caring for others. You write your own book,you can change the outcome. Explain your deepest fears with your friends, there is no doubt they too will feel the same way

yes i can relate, its a diff tack tho' i was persecuted to move, and when i got here i realized it was wrong for me,and oddly nothing much works out and i hate the area,its diff to move away, so yes i despair, i know the feeling, try and stick to some sort of routine that gets you through day, you know your interestsmake a list even if nothing more,sorry can't help more, praying for help myself.no you don't have to 'fit in' but try and talk to one or 2 others daily.
