I feel so alone

[Fionna86]

What do you do when you don't have any close friends or family? I just feel like I don't belong anywhere and I keep hearing myself say I can't do this anymore.

Hi what you need to to is start connecting with people more so you can make a close friend or two. You need to start putting yourself about more and meeting more people. If you are looking for a life partner go to places where you might meet them.

I am not sure what country you are in or your age but there are probably local groups around you can join. It is usually best to follow your interests to meet like minded others. x

For as much as it feels like ur alone, we all feel like this at different stages of our lives, some more than others. What really helps me is writing. Good old fashioned pen and paper and write. Just get it all out. I realize I have a lot to say and not enough people to say it too. I am a talker and I love to listen to others’ stories. I am here if u need an ear. 💓

You need to put yourself out there! I refuse to believe that there is no one out there who will love and support you for who you are! X

Hi Fionna86 i can definitely relate to feeling alone in the world-- story of my life. I just moved to CO, from TX 3 months ago, knowing nobody here. And when i moved to Dallas , from NY- 12 years ago- i didn't know a single person when i moved to Dallas either. i live a drifter's life, no anchor or roots, bc my childhood went like that = abandoned by parents and tossed around diff. places/relatives. As an adult i have made some good friends here and there, but often they are too busy with their own families, so i even ended up in the hospital 2 years ago, from panic attacks from the loneliness. One of my major sources of comfort is the Church- going to Mass, getting involved with prayer or study groups there. If this is not your thing- try meetup.com. This is a great way to meet people with the same interests- its just a site, all over the world, that has different groups based on interest. I've seen support groups there; or you could specifically search for a support group in your area. I'm sure there is one, and this is a way to meet people who suffer from anxiety or depression also. I pray you are able to find good friends you can relate with, and able to enjoy doing fun things with. Blessings

Best advice I've received is identify something you really enjoy (a hobby or interest), join an organisation for that activity, and hopefully you'll find people to hang out with. Good luck!
