I'm feeling really down right now

<p>I feel so overwhelmingly sad... everything I was just ignoring or pretending didn't happen is all coming out and everything is falling apart around me.</p>

<p>I'm not a social or very outgoing person, but I have two very close friends that I really care about. Their friendship was basically the heart of my social life throughout high school and even if I wasn't neccesarily <em>cool</em> or <em>popular</em> I still was really happy and secure because I had friends like them, they're really great.</p>

<p>But I feel like I've grown distant from them lately. Since the end of junior year, they both hang out and one in particular has grown close to other people. I don't care that they hang out with other people, its just that they STOPPED hanging out with me. Not completely, but I'm not close with them anymore and they've just kind of...moved on to other people. Over the summer it was hurtful to see pictures of them at pool parties and dinners with other girls, while I was just kind of waiting at home feeling lonely for someone to call me... or text me... I don't know, I just feel really forgotten. And I really miss our friendship. I'm going through a lot of personal problems too with my family and at this point I feel like theres no one (of my family and friends)to support me or someone I can even talk to. I really miss my friends, but I'm afraid to say something because it might make me seem even more "loser-ish" to them, which I think might be why theyre hanging out with other people, and I don't want to make things even more awkward or uncomfortable. </p>

<p>I feel so lonely and I have no idea what to do about it.</p>

<p>Hey there,
You sound really down. As a teenage girl myself, I understad the situation you are in- I have felt the same way many time throughout middle and high school. My advice- don’t wait for them to call/ text you. Call them! Organize a sleepover, a girls night in, or a movie. If that doesn’t work, try talking to some people you don’t generally talk to! Generally, we feel lonely when we isolate ourselves. Don’t be afraid to tell them that you iss them. It doesn’t make you a loser, it makes you genuine. Plus, everyone likes feeling like they are important.
Don’t stay by yourself and wallow in loneliness- it won’t make you happy. Get out there, socialize, and know that its all in your hands.
Good luck, and feel better.</p>

<p>Organize a meet-up with them for old times sake. Or make new friends like they have.</p>

<p>Sorry you’re feeling down, though =(</p>

<p>You can email me at ifeelokay @aol .com if you need someone to talk to</p>

<p>I know what you mean… my closest friends live far away and right now I’m essentially a loner since I have no socializing skills whatsoever. I believe I have 1 close friend in my high school right now, but even then we have nothing really in common.</p>

<p>I know. I don’t really have any friends either. And my senior year is already 25% gone. Maybe I’ll make friends in college. :/</p>

<p>Do what Spongebob did. Make a Bubble Buddy. There’s no way you’d be lonely with Bubble Buddy. No possible way.</p>

<p>wait are you a guy or a girl? I read the entire thing thinking you were a guy</p>

<p>“Over the summer it was hurtful to see pictures of them at pool parties and dinners with other girls”</p>

<p>…makes me think it’s a girl.</p>
