loneliness

[capybara1818]

hello, the fact that I’m here makes me feel like rock bottom to be honest but let’s just talk about it. I’m a senior and college and graduating and up until now I haven’t struggled as bad as I am right now. My best friends both have boyfriends or talking phases but I miss them a lot I have to hang out with my guy friends but it’s not the same. I feel like I am always the back up friend and I just want someone to ask me how I feel or ask me anything. I don’t want to sound bitter but I want my friends to hang out with me again. I’m in a sorority , a top sorority at that, but still have this overwhelming feeling of being alone. I’m becoming a shell of myself and I can feel myself slipping. I’m not putting the blame on my friends at all but it definitely contributes to my fears that I was just their friend when they needed it until they found someone else. In the sorority I feel very off. I feel like I don’t even want to be in it anymore and I love the people I have met but at the same time I don’t like it anymore. I guess I’m wondering advice, should I talk to my friends who I’m feeling like a back burner friend? Does this make me seem not happy for them? Should I reach out to other people and create another friend group? How do I get over this overwhelming feeling of being utterly alone?

I came here at rock bottom also. This place has been a huge part of my healing.

It's a time of change and transition when you are in college. It's not easy to watch friends move in different directions but to be honest this is going to happen throughout your life.

Maybe you should get out and find new people to enjoy time with. Maybe join a group?

I wish you well.
