Hi there,

I am Omnia. I am from Egypt and I joined this app in as I get totally depressed. In real world, I am totally lonely and I think that maybe something is wrong with me. unfortunately don’t know what is it but let’s say in a room full of people, I would be always the person who would end up alone. I am tired of being alone, if you are interested, we can become friends!

It’s good that you recognize your problem. In my opinion you don’t need to make virtual friends here. I would advise you to set few objectives to have friends in real life.

Let’s say in the same room full of people what u could do next time to start a conversation and to maintain it? Try to join a book club, a gym or to do any activity that needs a group of people, maybe hiking

These are not guaranteed objectives but u need to keep on trying until u find a solution.

Good luck

omnia92, there is nothing wrong with you. Many of us have been in your position

over our lifetime. It's about possessing confidence in ourselves. Loving ourselves,

Believing in ourselves. Walking into a room with a smile and a warm hello. No need

to engage in a lengthy conversation. Join in at first by listening and when there is a

lull, introduce yourself saying as little as you need to before turning the conversation

over to someone else by asking about them. People love to talk about themselves (that's

most people who aren't anxious) Give them the floor.

There are too many lonely people in the world today. People need to interact with others.

Everyone could use a friend. You would be surprised at the number of people on this

forum who are just as lonely as you and wish for someone who is kind and also looking

for a friend in their life. We won't know if we may be that friend, until we reach out.

You've got a friend in me. It just takes one person to believe in you until you believe in

yourself. The rest will all come in time. Welcome to this amazing forum. :) xx

Hello welcome xx here we are all friends! X 💕
