Feeling like I don't have someone to talk to

[Worrywort321]

Hey! So I came to the realisation that I don't really have a close friend or best friend that I can tell everything to. And like I have friends but I have no one who, without warning, I can just tell all my worries to. And it's kinda making me sad and worried that I'm alone. I associated being alone with depression and I have a fear of becoming depressed. And I don't really know what to do about it. Anyone have anything to share about this?

Well you could try and develop back closer friendship if that's what you want. Have you tried to confide more in any of these friends? Can you spend more time with any still respecting their space? What about family to talk to?

PS many people are introverts and many people including writers etc lived alone and we're happy. Just a different perspective.

Obviously if you want more friendship try more. Go for walks. Go to coffee shops etc. You meet all sorts of people who could become friends and closer friends.

I feel the same sometimes almost like people probably get sick of me telling them my problems. But it's surprising how many people are actually there we just don't always notice them. I've taken great comfort in this site as we are all here for the same reason. It's a great place as I've discovered to meet like minded people and have a good vent and plenty of support.
