I've pushed everyone away

[xXoblivionXx]

I was noticed today that I don't really have many friends, like I only have 4 and one of them is leaving for college soon, one lives in England, and the other two I feel like I'm drifting away from.

I've noticed that I've slowly been becoming anti social. and even on social media, I actually want to get away from that, I feel like it's a plague. the thing is I'm not doing anything really productive instead.. I just kind of wander around with by myself or with my family and my thoughts :/ it's boring and lonely

I know exactly how you feel.

Maybe if you took a break from the internet and do more athletic activities,
you may feel better.

Hope this helped

Message me when you can :hug:

I totally understand the way you feel. I have a group at school or I should say had. We all made these good intentions to stay in contact and none of us have really fulfilled it. When I attempt to make an effort it always seems pretty futile. I've kept in contact with two people really and one of them I just feel does not care at all.

I'm always here for you though, I may be in England and you may not know me in real life but I'll be your friend. :)

I feel like maybe a hobby would help. something I could put my time and effort in and work towards something. I'm not sure what though. I run, so maybe I could pursue that/fitness. idk though..

I'm not sure it affects everybody the same way, but I can say that physical activity does help me. Not just with depression, either. It makes me "high" in a way, and then I get more extroverted for a couple of hours. So after activity, I stay out as I relax after, so that I can use that little window of extrovert-time to talk to people and make acquaintances (maybe they'll be friends some day).

Not sure if it does that to you, but physical activity like running certainly doesn't have a negative side, so why not try it for a bit?

BTW I think its awesome that you are actually thinking of ways to get out of this, rather than letting it drag you further down. Its not easy. But seems like you are trying, and thats really cool.

Thanks jaffed I do want to make things better, I've been miserable for too long.

I'm trying to get more into running, I want to run at least 3 miles a day, right now I do about 3 every couple of days. That and strength training.

I'd love to help you but I can't; because I often feel like that too about 'friends' when I'm not working or going out :-\

If you want to talk about it with me further, PM me and we can talk.

Have a good day,
Andy
