Socially Exhausted But Lonely (5)

1 Name: Seething Bitterness : 2018-04-04 18:07 ID:wBBJU5wq [Del]

In short, my sister moved in with my best friend and other than a quick face to face visit in February and a one text, she hasn't talked to me at all. Which is both very strange (we were practically glued at the hip and did everything together until she moved out) and good I guess because I've realized I haven't wanted to talk to her because I'm actually really upset about it. My "best friend" hasn't talked to me since before my sister moved out and no one in our "friend" group has talked to me since I canceled on some plans we had- months in advance, it wasn't last minute or anything and I'm pretty sure they could find someone to take my spot easily enough.

I'm just really tired of always being the one who is expected to reach out and try to be friendly and social. I'm tired of being the only one who is trying to keep up a relationship.
But at the same time I'm really lonely and kind of feeling depressed becasuse none of my friends care enough to try to talk to me apparently...

Anyone have any advice or input they'd like to share?

Hi!

As someone dealing with something very similar to what you're going through, I can thoroughly say that I sympathize. It's not always easy having to reach out, but unfortunately, the world is lazy. I don't know much about you, but to me it sounds like you're someone mature and proactive who likes to get things done; the rest of the world isnt like that. Most people like having things handed to them easily, and won't like to have to do anything for something. (Did that sentence even make sense ? >,<' )

All in all, although I can't offer you any advice on how to fix this, I can offer you my thoughts on how to hopefully move on and be happy??

First of all, if you can and if situation permits ( as in you're not actually like..... really young) try and get out more, meet new people in different communities where you wouldn't originally think of finding friends. What are your hobbies? What kind of talents do you have? What things are you into? Start with that, and try to find people with similar interests.

Also, most relationships are like this. A lot of people will admit to feeling like people only try to make time for them when it's convenient for them or when they need something.. It's unfortunately how we are. You will one day find people who will see you as someone they will want to talk to every day. I just know it. Because if I dont truly believe that you will, then I wont truly believe that I will, either.

I hope this somewhat helps, and if you ever want to talk, I don't mind offering my LINE/KIK. :)

Thank you for the encouraging words Hinoga.
I have to say, you've got my personality pretty spot on there.
I know that the world can be annoyingly lazy but I guess I made the mistake of expecting those close to me to have a similar standard on reaching out. (And yes your sentence made sence, or, it did to me as least :) )

My situation some what permits it, I'm old enough to do almost whatever I want, as currently I don't have a car that's in working order and I'm very weak currently. I was sick for three weeks and at the moment I can't even pick up a gallon of milk with out nearly droppping it.

I was in the cosplay community but, I'm taking a break for a while for several reasons.

My hobbies are strongly centered around being creative for the most part, photography, writing, archery,drawing, cooking & baking, painting, sewing, jewlery making, cosplaying and I've recently started getting into leather working. I'm into a lot of animes, supernatural, sherlock, homestuck and a lot of other stuff.

Thank you very much for your input.
Also if you wouldn't mind my responses not always being quick, I'd be up for chatting on KIK.
