I feel so alienated from everyone else that I despair sometimes of ever making a friend, of ever falling in love. I’m so lonely it’s killing me. Very dark thoughts lately. I don’t know what to do.
I feel less and less on the same wavelength with my old friends. I think it’s part of getting older but it still sucks. I think I’ve just let my brain wander too far out there and now I can’t come all the way back.
I went through an intensely lonely period a few years ago. I know it’s not something you can change overnight, but you have to become comfortable with being alone. That’s not too say you always will be, but you need to be your own best friend. I used to beat myself up a lot, then I started thinking that I wouldn’t talk to somebody I care about the way I talk to myself, and that’s not ok. Learn to enjoy your own company, take good care of yourself, and focus on your well-being. You’ll be ok.
