How to deal with being lonely and having no friends?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am feeling super depressed lately and bored but I think its because I have no friends I can talk to. Everytime I call my friend she never answers it just sucks because I always pick up when she calls. I just really wanted to talk to somebody. I just don't feel happy at all and I feel disappointed in myself all the time. This is not where I expected to be in my life. I also feel like I fail at everything I do no matter how hard I try Im just never going to be good at anything or get a good grade. I think I’m probably stupid because I just don’t know why everyone else does well but I seem to try so hard just to fail. It’s ridiculous at this point. I pray to God and tell him to help me by giving me motivation to keep going and I feel like he doesn’t answer me. I feel like the people around me have lots of things going for them that come easy to them. Like friends, and significant others, being asked to go hang out, and being included. I am not really sure what to do. If anyone can give advice or if they have been in a similar situation please tell me how you worked on it. Thank you.

Find someone new. I’m a very shy, introverted person, and it’s hard for me to make new friends, but remember, if they don’t know you, they can’t judge you. Try to make small talk with some people, get acquaintances, then try to forge new friendships or maybe even a romance. It’s hard feeling lonely, but there’s always someone out there who cares about you. In the meantime, my best advice would be to try and go to social events and places where you might find a new friendship circle. Put yourself out there!

Everyone feels lonely from time to time, sometimes being alone is a very comfortable thing, sometimes it can get too quiet.

It’s okay to feel lonely sometimes, embrace your feelings and try to cheer up your days.

I am in a different country, where I came because of my fiancé. I had no one else but him here, now I don’t have him either but I still don’t allow it let me down and I enjoy my life, but there are days that I don’t and it’s okay…

Go volunteer at a charity you support. You'll meet people there. Join a church group if you're religious (or maybe even if you're not) or a community center.

Your one friend sounds pretty underwhelming but you aren't going to find better ones on the other end of a keyboard. Get out there and meet people who share similar interests to you.

I never worry about my friends or lack thereof. Because I know that people I know (friends) will be right there when they need me.😆😆😆

Friends are highly overated. You're just still too young to realize that.

At first I thought I wrote post because it’s exactly what I go through daily. I’m alone and have no friends I just feel like I’m a failure to life.
