DON'T try to distract yourself. Let your feelings exist: only then they will go away.

Really wonder these feelings and don't fear to ask yourself questions even when they seem obvious or stupid. Think about this in every perspective. Ask yourself for example why is it so important to you to find someone to love you romantically? Do YOU appreciate your existence? Is there something you could do to make this happen? What's the worst that could happen if you don't solve these feelings? Is there other ways to solve this? Do you feel lonely in some company in particular? Do you already know people who you would like to love you? Do you also feel sad, angry, embarrased or other feelings when you feel lonely? Towards who or what do you feel them? How does your body feel when the feeling come over you? Do your shoulders, hands, stomach or other body parts get tense?

My advice? There will always be something we want to improve in our lives -and I'm not saying we shouldn't- but saying you can't be happy until you achieve it is insane. Happiness can also be had from working towards your goals. You have to accept changing your life is going to take some time. Give yourself a break and permission to fail sometimes. Take it as you will.

Probably the ultimate red pill is that you're on your own in this world. Other than your family, you can't really fully trust anyone (and even your family may be untrustworthy in some extreme cases). Loneliness is part of being human, because we are all individuals with fundamentally different interpretations of the world.

To cope with this I'd suggest you either take up some work to keep yourself so busy you don't notice. Otherwise you could embrace it with meditation or a personal hobby which allows you to enjoy life on your own, or with others.

You will never feel complete because of other people. This feeling comes from within and you need to become at peace with yourself.

There is at least one lurker who will read this and feel slightly less alone and more relatable.

Just by sharing, you made their life slightly better, and they will probably never tell you that.

Hey Anon,
It sounds like you have clinical depression. Talk to a doctor about it.

I dont think that im clinically depressed. I was feeling pretty neutral the past couple of months. I guess I was never truly happy but things got better when I met the friend. It's just the couple past days I've started to feel like shit and think about suicide. I just want to cry at some parts of the day. It came based on nothing, just like that, out of blue.
