Feeling drained repressing my feelings

My ex came back, and i agreed we'd be friends, but i just can't take how much disrespect this m4kr had for me and i still accepted them back, what kind of love i have 4 myself?

I feel like everyone does not care for me, and all people are using me because i have this or that, why are people being fake and nobody wants to be with me? What is wrong with me..

i accepted my ex because i don't have any friends, and my therapist i told her this and i've been warning people about my mental health i am so lost, so alone, i feel so alone, and for such a long time, why i'm not like one of those people that has lots of friends to hang out?

And today my ex told me she was in an apartment, and it makes me think of course she is with someone, and im suppose to not feel anything because we are just friends, but it's killing me inside..

Don't know what i should do, then i feel i am attracting all this and because i have certain beliefs i belive that i am attracting becuse of it, and then it's really hard for me to get out of bed, and do my hygine, i feel like i am so alone... i feel so alone

My sister told me when i came back to my home town we would see each other more, and you know what happen? it has been more then 5 weeks here and nothing, she never invited me, and more and more, i just feel like i have to hide my feelings because it seems i can never show what i really feel

Why don't you invite your sister? You can have dinner at a restaurant or make dinner (or lunch) at your house. This often happens. People get busy and things slip their minds. Also, people who are depressed/anxious feel rejection very easily. Even a small thing or sometimes even an imaginary slight can make a depressed person feel very rejected.

Nothing is wrong with you. 🥰

I don’t quite know what to say because I think I need some more details to give you a good response. And I’m a woman, not a guy.

Oh okay, didn’t know.

You’re not alone feeling this way. I too feel unwanted and unloved. Out of my family of 6, 3 of us are left, me and 2 older brothers. My eldest brother is an alcoholic and I have no contact with him and my other brother I get along with but there is a 14 year age gap and we don’t have a lot in common. I get “friends “ but they are karaoke bar friends, they never want to hang out outside of karaoke and it’s never an in-depth friendship where I can talk to them about deep issues.

I’ve let an ex back into my life as a friend but I have zero romantic feelings towards him but he treats the friendship as an option. He doesn’t make me a priority at all,it’s basically he will hang out if he doesn’t have anything else to do.

I lost my mom 8.5 years ago and she was the ONLY person who I knew loved me and would always be there for me and now I don’t have her.

I think that people have changed and choose quantity over quality nowadays.

thank you for your share, i appreciate.

I feel like i've learned that my choices also reflect my self-worth, when i read that you are allowing your ex to come back as a friend, and not treat you correctly, i saw how we can be deceived so we don't loose people, we loose ourselves, i hope that you can see how amazing you are, and don't tolerate any kind of behavior for fear of being left alone, because it's better to have standards, and don't allow any kind of treatment, people respond to the way you treat yourself, and if they get angry or leave you, or talk bad about you, or try to hide their hate in compliments, just smile and stay in your lane, they will reveal themselves, we should never downplay who we are for the well being of others, for real, because then we will be the ones to be unhappy

People will love you when you show an interest in them. People will find you interesting when you don't volunteer any information about yourself.

Some people are the "wrong fit" for you and may be blocking your chances of making other, better friends. When we have anything that resembles a romantic connection, we tend to "put all our eggs in one basket". Try to find multiple "baskets".

And smile; smiling increases the happy hormones and attracts others to us, but if you are "up to your eyebrows in galoshes", you won't be able to see the world around you!" Have a peep at the world and see what's out there for you, but try to be just an observer without getting your emotions involved. This is not a quick fix; you have to work at it.

i think my problem is really about that thing you said about people not being my fit, and me accepting less then i know i deserve, i always thought having needs and not being satisfied was my problem, but now i see, i deserve sooo much better, and i was asking for the bare minimum!

You and me both!😀

Time to make a fresh start....make a new regime....it has to start with your self esteem.Begin by changing things about your physical appearance...start a gentle exercise routine if you are not active....i prove your diet....meditate...listen to motivational stuff...maybe youtube....

People are usually drawn towards those who are radiant...confident....positive....if you are not feeling good about yourself...begin to do things that make you feel better....remembers small steps...pamper...reward...join a club...a group...make new friends.

Choose to be happy...its a start.
