I know exactly how you feel and it’s crap! It’s like you’re just barely existing and the world is just whizzing by around you, you don’t know which way to turn, who to turn to or what to think? Or that’s how it is for me anyway. I’m not really sure I can offer any words of wisdom other than something that was once said to me, and that’s to find 3 positives in each day. It can be something as small as getting up, dressed and having breakfast To completing a triathlon! Remind yourself you do have a purpose and you are loved.. Like I say, I’m not really sure if any of that helps or not but more than anything I wanted you to know you’re not on your own x

Hi there, i'm new too. literally created this account 10 minutes ago

lets say you came home from a hard day of work or school. You make yourself a cup of tea and sit in silence. you decide for yourself if that is loneliness or freedom. if it is loneliness then do not be so stressed and afraid of being lonely for we are only human and it is okay to feel lonely at some point in life. its completely normal. The best advice i can give you for being lonely is to honestly be your own company for a while. Sounds weir but hear me out.

sometimes when your lonely you hang on to things you don't love, or you could go out to the big wide world to commit to something you don't want but wrapped yourself in because you wanted to get rid of that lonely isolated feeling. i just wanted to give you a heads up that its not the way to go. when your lonely you really gotta fix it with your own individual self, and be comfortable and love yourself to the fullest. after that's achieved go out and meet others. connect with your friends. Easier said then done obviously but you will get there do not worry.

you really do have a purpose in life, and that may be linked with your motivation. you do have a purpose in life just find the motivation to explore your purpose. Once again go out explore im sure you have a hobby you enjoy of some sort. motivation is out there, just find it within yourself to really explore the best of abilities.
