Have you ever feel like you don’t have any friend? Like you are around great people who you constantly talk to, but when you’re feeling down you know that’s not something they want to hear so you realize they’re not your friends as you used to think.
My dog died five months ago, and I used to think that I had a friend, but she didn’t even ask me how I was feeling, that was when I realized that a friend is who stays at the good times and the bad times and who worries about you. Ever since I always ask myself who would probably be when I’m happy or sad but thinking now I can see that I have no one to talk to and it just makes me feel more sad that I can’t even make a real friend. It makes me ask if there’s something wrong with me, what’s wrong with me that people hate

I can’t stop thinking and asking myself how miserable my life could be that I don’t even have a friend who I can talk to like everyone at least can count on with someone and I can’t even talk to my sister or my parents
Hi, When something big happens in our life, it might not appear so large in the view of someone else. For example, a person who doesn't have a dog might not realise how important your furry friend was to you, it's such a special relationship. This doesn't make them a bad friend but someone who sees the same situation differently. If you are wanting to talk about anything, sometimes you need to ask for time to talk with someone and put the topic on the table. You could be pleasantly surprised by their reaction.
hi, no one is happy all the time we are a mixture of emotions ,somethings can brighten up your day ,however small, and at times we feel the world is totally against you as everyone appears to be happy .......do as your title suggests,find something comical in your life ,;of course you will miss your dog ,it was your pal....and no one likes to lose a loved one .;dont be too hard on yourself.life seems worse when we are feeling low.hopefully,you can understand this ,take care.
When I had problems when I was a kid, I questioned so called friends. My Mother told me, in life you will 2/3 friends and the rest are acquaintances. I am 78 now, and have had over the years 6 friends, one has since died another one is dying, we all live in different states now, so we do not get together for lunch etc., One friend was murdered!!! Another friend died last Aug. So sorry your dog had to go to doggy heaven, that is painful. I have had cats over the years, and lost many of them, some of them I still miss very much and dream about them. I have 2 cats now, one is 15 so I know it wont be too many more years for her to leave, the other one is only 5. I have no friends here now where I live, but I have you guys on line to talk to. Believe me No one Hates you, you are just imagining that, people lead busy full lives and have different views from us, it is not easy to "Click" with someone, it takes time. Join a local social group in your area on line, you may meet someone there. Remember, You are Special, you have your gifts, we love you, you need to love and respect yourself, keep a journal, make plans for the next year or even 5 years it will keep you busy. Life is difficult, full of ups and downs, try to go with the flow, believe in yourself and build a life to suit yourself, your confidence will attract others, but look out for those who would use you. Want to read a good book, try Dr. Scott Peck, "The Road Less Traveled", it helped me a lot, it was in the top 10 best seller list for 7 years, Amazon has it new/used, a worthwhile investment. I wish you well, sending courage, strength, understanding, peace, love n hugs.......
I appreciate your words, and you’re right I started writing here this week and it has been really helpful to talk about how I feel and how I am not the only one who feels this way.
Friends are important in life. There is that risk that we take in making them. If you have moved to a new city, or school; then give yourself sometime to make good friends. At times, you will make friends in the most unlikely places: the gym; out walking; at a church. You just have to keep moving forward with that. There is no one formula for making friends, just be yourself. You've got this!
I think is just time of get used of the idea that some will love me for the way I am and some won’t like it. But meanwhile I’m gonna keep trying of find people who I can talk to
