Feeling Lonely and Isolated

I've been feeling so depressed lately because I don't have any friends πŸ˜” I don't have a great relationship with my family either so it can be rly isolating... I really do put myself out there but it just doesn't work for me

Can you help? connect today

This is so hard. I don't have friends either. I just try to focus on what I do have when it feels extra tough. And it can be as simple as I need it to be, it doesn't have to be grand or super meaningful. Like maybe a nice person I talked to at the grocery store. I just try to focus on whatever little nugget of human connection I can and let it soak in.

Sometimes stuff like this can help! Even though it seems small, talk to people online (β€’: find groups that you have things in common with & chat about what you know. Go into the comments on social media platforms & find questions you can answer to get a convo going or just to help someone out πŸ‘ good luck to you!

I don't really have friends or family either. I have 2 acquaintances that I speak to once ever few months on average. For me, when I feel lonliness, I try to hang out at the office and strike up a conversation with a coworker if I can. If I can't do that I sometimes try to talk to someone online. I know lonliness is really tough, it honestly feels similar to grief for me.

I'm right there with you. It feels like no one really takes the time to get to know me, and everyone misjudges the reasons behind my actions.
