I still feel so lonely even when I have friends with me

You're not letting yourself open up to other people, maybe because you're scared of their reaction or afraid to be teased. Its difficult to find good friends that will actually listen so try telling your parents or a sibling.Its kinda lame but hey they're family and you know that they care. Another thing you should keep in mind is that its YOUR life. Live it the way YOU want to live it and say what you want to say.What can other people do to you other than gossip... Usually when I feel like this I pray. What better solution than praying to the Lord? I hope you feel better soon =D

Friendship or relationships are natural and necessary for every human being. If you look around you, you will notice that life is colorful meaning there are many different people which have many different customs, colors and experiences, they also live in many different countries and surroundings. Their cultures can be old or young. But still we are all connected through things that are not necessarily easy to give words to. We are all human living in the same world. Start looking at your friends with the desire to get to know what it is that connects you. Find the things which you love about them. Try to be a good listener and observer. Then your friends will also listen to you and want to know what you have to say.- You will find that you are not lonely anymore.

I know its been a long time since you started with this discussion, but I think it's still okay to post my thoughts on the matter.. I do hope that it's okay (^_^") Yeah, like how the first respondent of your discussion stated, you should open up to others and don't let your hesitations or your worries discourage you. I hope by the time I am posting this response of mine, you have already over came your lack of self assertion. I sometimes feel the same way and I do admit that it's just me thinking like that. I notice that I don't get to talk to my colleagues that muck and they don't talk to me as well. Whichever the case, maybe they are avoiding me or something. It makes me feel shunned even though I am the only one doing that to myself. Hoping that they would include me in their discussions. Then again, I can always do the initiative to join. While I am posting this, I am still in that phase of being 'alone' Perhaps by the time I do open up, I'd realize why the situation turned out like this.. (-_- )

I think that you should give it a try on talking to them about it. If they do not listen to you, ask yourself if they really are your friends. Maybe it is better to find someone who will always be there for you. If it does not work that way, try other things like here in mylot. People here are interested of the things that is on your mind. Be this the medium for you to let go of the feelings you have inside. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that you are new here. Express everything here and other lotter will be happy to share their views as well. I hope that you will feel better soon.

Hi,my friend, I don't feel lonely when I grow up.I felt lonely coz I didn't like talking with others when I was young.When others didn't talk to me,I would feel that they hate me,and didn't communicate with them. When I grow up,I know that if I don't talk with others.Others would think u don't want to make friends with them or not friendly. So try to talk more with your friends.Don't afraid that they wouldn't like to listen to your talking.That's just your thought. Have a good time!
