Do you ever wish you had someone to talk too?

[Anonymous]

I mean I have people to talk to and they will listen but not able the stuff I really need to talk about, I feel if I did it would make them uncomfortable or not understand what I'm saying. I would like to go to a therapist I can't afford it.

As much as they say don't keep things bottled up as it's not healthy I have yet to find that one person I feel I can let it all out too

When I was younger, and in elementary/middle school, absolutely… I have good friends now, but back then, I was insanely lonely. I had no one to talk to. My parents were rarely ever home, and I was mostly left with my grandparents and older brother. They were friendly, but I still longed for a confidante.

Are you sociable? Do you like socializing with people? If you do not interact with people, it is going to be very hard for you to find those you can befriend. You do not have to be a social butterfly, but you should at least be friendly and receptive when someone talks to you.

What do you need to talk about? If it’s about mental health or something serious, I would really advice you to go to at least, borrow money and go to a therapist because people with no medical knowledge cannot help you with things that do require medical attention. I am extremely glad that you realize bottling up your emotions is not healthy. Self acknowledgement is the first step towards balancing out your feelings. If you need someone to vent to, I am all ears.

I've very sociable, that's no issue, I don't have mental health issues (as far as I know)

The things I want to talk about, it's hard to talk about, to have honest I wish I had a close male best friend I could confide in.

Not that a female would-be be great, it's just there are things she wouldn't understand properly and feel uncomfortable hearing.

I will try to save and see if I can see a professional therapist but even then I wouldn't know where to start.

That’s alright. You don’t have to open up to the therapist right away. You can take your time, just make sure they are the right fit for you.

When I was younger, my father told me that he only had acquaintances up until the age of 38. He found his first best friend unexpectedly, and both had terrible first impressions of each other. But later, when they got to know each other, they bonded and are still friends to this day. He will be 50 this year.

Since you do not have any problem socializing, striking up a conversation with people would be easier. Try to be charming, but also genuine. Be a good listener, go to sports games or join clubs that interest you. I’m sure you’ll be able to connect with like minded people there.

I go to many events during the year and talk to people who I have things in common with, this is more talking about things I've insecure talking about

[WonderBell99]

Well, trust takes time… you can’t always open up to people you’ve just met. If you feel like this is urgent, you might want to save up some money and go to a therapist.
