I have no friends, I've been dumped and I feel pressured
62% Normal
6 Comments

I'm 25 and I have no close friends to hang out with. I want to make friends but I have failed. I always feel pressured to talk when I'm in a group of people. I even feel pressured when talking to my family on the phone. I'm mostly out of words to say. I was even rejected by the one I loved for a few years. I live by myself often getting depressed.
Do you think it's normal?

You know if you don't like the status quo, you have to do something different.
You might feel awkward. You might feel foolish. So what? Everyone I know really likes friendly, foolish, unpredictable people.

I'm almost 19 and don't really have close friends either. I mean, I talk to some friends from school but mostly online or ocassionally texting. But I don't "hang out" with many people. Idk why that is but like you, I want to change. And yes, it is kind of depressing. It sucks cuz I'm actually a pretty cool person but I guess I don't put myself out there enough. =/

I agree. Seems you've had a bad run of luck. But I hope you can stop pressuring/judging yourself. Better to get out there and DO something - anything - that is going to get you circulating rather than bumming out alone.

Yes, I get it. Getting out there and doing something.. Loneliness is overrated. Atleast pretend to be happy till your happy.

we'll sometimes this has a lot to do with your confidence and not being social enough to interact with people :/
