Feeling lonely

983 views

All of my friends have distanced themselves from me over the past year, and I don't know why... it's making me feel lonely though, I have few people to talk to these days and I've always been pretty good about managing life alone because I've had to adapt to living without friends. Lately though, it's getting to me, just feeling lost. Trying to do community/volunteer work and focusing more on my own work to keep busy, but that only goes so far. It especially hurts because a friend I was very close with for a few years and really liked..we ended up sleeping together (which was stupid of me) and now he doesn't speak to me anymore...just feeling...Idk :c and I opened up to him about how I have trust issues and how I hate being abandoned and he basically abandoned me without a second thought. We don't talk unless I initiate the conversation, so I stopped because it's become an unhealthy/one-sided friendship. But in some ways it hurts even more knowing he didn't care enough to check in with me over the past few months.

Sorry, I needed to rant, even if it was only to the internet. It helps.

Hi I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling lonely. Recently I've been feeling the same way. One thing that I did to counter these feelings was finding something new and interesting in my life that not only kept me busy, but also got me in a social setting. I chose rock climbing. it's such a thrill, and the endorphins make me feel better on hard days. Also there is no pressure its just all about enjoying myself and setting my own goals. It also demonstrates to me that even after a traumatic experience, my body is still holding on strong and fighting to survive. It doesn't have to be climbing, but taking time in your life to pursue a dream or passion makes life worth it. I hope you can find that something for yourself. Stay strong and be kind to yourself. :throb:
