Venting I'm lonely

[TheRainyDaysStay]

Ever since my ferret died I've been so lonely. I go to school, then work, and when I finally come home it's to a lonely room. I struggle to talk to people, I'm so awkward and can't keep conversations going. I feel so lonely and I feel like I don't even have a space to be sad in, my room is constantly being barged into and I always have to defend my want for a lock on my door. All I do is sleep and cry in my room anyways, I feel like I'm sleeping so much yet I'm still exhausted. I want to talk and not feel judged, I want to feel an actual connection, I miss Ally, the world just feels terrible.

It seems you are still very young. Dont worry, relax, you have time. If you think you are awkward you could try a therapist and work on your social skills. Just dont stress, but dont let time go, if you want to change something, take action now, even some small steps can get you very far in the long run. Sleeping a lot and still being exhausted is a classic, its hard and you are going to need all your willpower to get out of there. You are not alone. Im sorry about your pet.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to lose a pet.

Talking isn't easy for sure, but don't be discouraged—keep trying. The more you do so the better you'll get at it. I still can't do it well irl, but I've gotten so much better these past few years just by putting myself out there more (like, not lurking on the internet, but rather trying, failing, and then learning how to do text-based conversations).

If you want someone to talk to in order to beat away the loneliness, feel free to PM me. Or even if you just want to practice talking or something. No judgement here. I know how it feels. Regardless, wishing you peace!
