Any friends out there?

I got dumped 2 weeks ago and am at a very low point in my life right now. I’m living alone for the first time ever, all my friends are in happy relationships, and I honestly jut feel so lonely and hopeless. I feel like it’s never going to get better and I’m never going to be happy or have friends who like me. If someone could be my virtual friend, or even send a few kind words or maybe even tips, I would appreciate it so much. Life seems so bleak and pointless right now :( anything would be appreciated ❤️

Hi, relationships (love and loss) are a part of life i'm afraid, you will become stronger as you move on, take the lessons this has given you and learn to become more independant, do the things you have always wanted to do, traveling, sky diving... give yourself time to adjust to your new life, as one book ends, find another to read.

Why do I feel like you’re young? I know this sounds cliche but I swear you have time to meet someone better!!

Relationships are meant to teach us something and then lead us to our next experience/lesson. Try to think what you have learned from him/her and focus on how much better things can be with the right person!!

The fact you think all your friends are in “happy” relationships could very well be an illusion. People rarely show their true colors in public, remember that Ok?!?

Head up!! You’re going to triumph from this!! ❤️

Hey, I know it's tough now. I was in the same place 3 years ago. I was living with an exes mom, and I depended on them for everything. He was a very toxic person and drove me to near insanity with his mind games. It got so bad, that I tried to commit suicide. After that, I decided to take control of my life and get a job, and move on.

It's been nearly 3 years, and I'm now married with a beautiful baby boy. I know everyone says it, but it truly does get better. I'm here if you need someone to talk to. Stay strong, keep your head up, and just keep moving forward.

I've been there recently too. You're probably feeling some huge withdrawal pains. Talk it out as many times as you need to with any friend that will listen and be non judgemental. Also look into yourself to see how you enter into relationships. Do you fall for someone before you get to know them? Are they emotionally available? I've made that mistake and it's a deep seated emotional problem that I'm working on correcting.

You’ll get through this and things will get better. A friend told me that the most important love is self love. I don’t know if you have issues there but I definitely do. I find it extremely hard to be by myself. I’m currently practicing to love and enjoy myself and not be overwhelmed by negativity in my own mind. Try finding things about yourself you like or things that interest you and dive in. The more you appreciate yourself the easier it will be to find people who feel the same way. Hope it helps. You’ll get through this.
