Open Messages, I need a friend

[Riki_]

At my room from day to day, feel like walls are about to crush me. My phone is quiet and I don't really know if I exist in other people's world. It feels like I'm taking the long road to meet someone when I'm "ready", when I just fit in with other people despite being neurodivergent. It's a growing pain I don't really think I can escape by myself by just "trying". I want someone to talk to about anything.

hi Riki, I’m sorry for your feelings of loneliness and isolation. That’s one of my biggest fears is being lonely. I suffered a lot of rejection and abandonment as a child and then again as an adult. I just wanted someone to value me and appreciate me for who I am. Every time I show myself real self to be compassionate and empathetic I get taken advantage of or taken for granted. I’m blessed to have 3 beautiful daughters in my life who will always appreciate me and value me if God is willing.

Look after yourself. Sending you kindness and support from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏♥️🕊️

Hi Riki;

You've reached a community of potential friends here. We are all on our own journeys with Mental health, some of us are further along the path than others and we are a supportive bunch of folk!

Ask away, or if you are familiar with the problems of someone else, join in these threads, we don't bite,

Pull up a chair around the (metaphorical) camp fire and join in!

Cheers, Midori

Hi Riki, Welcome to this community. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I see you are from Puerto Rico. I went there for the first time on a vacation in May and loved it. It's so beautiful there. I'm happy to chat with you, but I haven't ever chatted with someone on this site so not exactly sure how it works. I'll try and send you a chat message.

Thank you, it's a very popular tourist location and I've lived there for as long as I can tell. You can go send a direct message through my inbox.
