I'm extremely lonely

Post Reply New Topic

The last time i had a friend was 6 years ago. Humans are social beings but how come i can't even talk to anyone? And why nobody talks to me? Am i the only one who spends all the time alone without talking? I dont feel like a human. This is getting unbearable each day.

You're not alone with that.
Maybe you can try to find people online who are similar to you or who are tolerant and differ from the norm themselves, who you can chat to, maybe even voice call and meet up with sometimes?

All you can do is reach out and keep doing it, accept that you're likely to get knocked back and rejected in the process of trying to find somebody you can find a real connection with, learn from your mistakes and give yourself the best possible chance of stumbling over that one person who could make all of the difference. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that you've left it too late, you've left it too long or that you're too old.

if i were near you, what would i see? do you go out and try to socialize? do you stay home a lot because of no friends? do you prefer a friend who is on the spectrum?

i have had some friends but not very many. more of my friends happened when i was younger. i've just learned to keep on living. their loss!

I frequently look back at the past, when I had friends; I miss chatting on the phone, birthday and Christmas presents.
Sigh.

I’m sorry you are feeling so lonely and that being alone feels so lonely to you. Can you tell us more about the friend from six years ago? Were you in school then?

Keep on posting Highly_Autistic we are listening, I get lonely too especially now. Do you have any family you are close to? Do you have a special interest?

Do you like railways?

Do you have any hobbies? Have you tried meetup.com or Facebook meetups? When I want to meet new people I look for game nights at the local comic book store.

Also idk if this is the best idea but I've met several people through dating apps that later become platonic friends, then I met their friends, etc.
