Hey there! I’m feeling much the same right now...it’s tough not to feel jealous of others enjoying social time, when we are at home. This is the time we need to find a hobby or project or movie to occupy our time...what is your passion??

Hi Honeynectar,

I agree with what KailaLili and Wounded_Solider said. Maybe don’t look at social media for a little bit because they may make it worse. I know it is hard to to cure boredom when you’re stuck in the house but I’m sure there are some small things you can do. Write, color, etc. Please don’t say you aren’t talented because everyone has some gift.

Okay. I’m still somewhat new to this community myself. I get what it is like to be lonely. That’s partially why I joined. Sometime seeing people have fun on social media or in front of you hurts.

I have always found it hard to make friends. I’m not good at small talk. Sometimes I overshare or go mute or just do something stupid. I don’t intentionally do any of those things but I hate when it effects people negatively. I’ve always been envious of the people who can make friends super easily.

I mean I guess it depends. In the big lecture halls there isn’t time for that. In the smaller classrooms it happens sometimes but it doesn’t feel as awkward. At least that’s my experience.
