What to do when you feel lonely?

[LaureenVO]

Lately I've been feeling so alone. My best friend of 10+ years got a new boyfriend. They are always together and I feel like I just got less importent out of nowhere. Beside that I'm in a friendgroup, but I always feel like I'm not as close to everyone as they are with each other. I see them hangout everyday (Individuals, not the entire group and that im the only one not going). It kinda sucks. Even though I know they love me aswell. Yesterday I asked my friend "Hey do you want to hangout tomorrow?" She answered with "Sorry I got school." And then today I find out that she skipped school to hangout with 2 of her closest friends. She did call me with them, but then didn't ask me to join them. It made me feel very shitty. Especially because a few days ago I let her know about this. I told her, "Hey I miss you. I see that you hangout with everyone everyday and I'm happy for you! However sometimes I wish that I could join aswell. We don't speak very often anymore. So do you wanna hangout soon?" She answered with "Oh I'm so sorry I made you feel that way! Yes for sure we will hangout again! Let's do that soon, okay?" But then she pulled the shit she did today. My other friends have no time lately to hangout. I completely understand, however when they ever need me, I'm always there for them, no matter how busy I am. But when it comes to me, they don't do the same. They don't make time for me and it hurts. When my friends do text me or wanna hangout, it almost always is to talk about someone they have a crush on or something that's been bothering them lately. It never is like, "Hey how are you?" It always is like, "Omg I have tea, can u call? But i can't call too long though, I just need to tell you this." I'm happy they trust me that much, but why don't they ever listen to me? I love being alone, I just hate feeling alone... Does anybody know what to do when you feel alone?

I might not be the best person to answer. I'm extremely introverted to the point where I enjoy solitude way more than groups.

[LaureenVO]

I also am an introvert. I love being alone and my alone time. I just hate FEELING alone.

[AdithyaR]

I've never actually felt alone, so I'm not really sure how to answer.

[LaureenVO]

That's okay :)

Happy tears are always good... ;) but no more crying since you are to far away for me to hug...

[LaureenVO]

Ahw thank you

There are lots of things i can say that needs to be elaborated more. In short, i can just say, love yourself.

growing pains. you have things today that I never had in my days, like computers cell phones.

[LaureenVO]

Yes I have those things, but that doesn't help. Social media is extremely toxic lately :/

My advice for you Lauren is be around good people

[LaureenVO]

Sadly that often doesn't work, no matter how much I am around people, the lonely feeling doesn't go away

[Nahid1707]

I’m sorry for that
I know this sounds simple
Do what makes you happy

[LaureenVO]

It's okay, I appreciate you trying to help a lot!

Enjoy the weekend 😊

[LaureenVO]

You too! :)

If you are a man, you suck it up.

I'm not a man and men are also allowed to cry or feel sad.
