My childhood friends don't talk to me anymore, I don't have any friends online, and I feel lonely... By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My childhood friend also ignored me. He got into a top university, while I was just average. No one wanted to talk to me in the three years of high school because I had a bad temper. I also don't have any friends online

I feel increasingly lonely. I'm getting thinner and thinner, and I'm afraid of socializing and talking to people. I just want to be alone, I don't want to get along with people.

Hello, host.

I'm letmefly, and I want to help you.

You say you're alone. It's hard to feel this way. I'm here for you.

You're lonely and getting thinner. I feel for you. I send you a hug.

Has the original poster thought of ways to deal with the situation? Have you talked to your parents? Go to a hospital for a physical exam to see if there's a physical reason. Weight loss usually has a reason, and you should first rule out the causes.

The original poster said his childhood friend doesn't care about him. Why? Even if he went to college and left, there's still the internet. You can still get in touch. Do you think something happened between you?

If you think there's a gap because he went to a top university and you may only go to an ordinary one, have you talked to your childhood friend?

Sometimes we doubt ourselves. Sometimes others don't see it that way. Maybe we need to check reality to see if it's true.

The original poster should be going to university soon. I have a few suggestions for you as a prospective university student.

Pay attention to your relationship with your roommates. The four years in college may be the longest you spend with them. You don't have to be best friends, but you should still interact with them daily.

The host feels lonely, so how can you make friends in college? Start with clubs. Have some hobbies. Join clubs that interest you. Meet like-minded classmates and make friends.

The host still finds it difficult to adapt and make friends after going to university. You can also seek help from the school's psychologist. As far as I know, psychological counseling at university should be free. The host should be able to get better support and explore themselves in such a safe environment.

I don't know the host's situation or gender. The host's childhood friend is male, so I think the host is a boy. If I'm wrong, don't worry about my opinion. Everyone has different experiences. The host knows themselves best, so believe in yourself.

I hope I can help you and get your feedback.

Hello! It's great that you're seeking help. It seems like you're having a bit of trouble getting along with other people, which is totally normal. We all have different personalities and ways of interacting with others. It's not always easy to figure out how to get along with everyone, and that's okay! You're already taking the first step by seeking help. This is a great way to start working through any confusion you might have.

"My best friend and I have grown apart. He got into a top university, but I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I was a bit of a handful in high school, but I've learned to work through my issues. I'm excited to make new friends online!

"I'm feeling more and more alone, and I'm also getting thinner. I'm not keen on socializing or talking to people. I'd love to be alone and focus on myself."

1. How do you feel when you see your childhood friend get into a top university while your grades are just so-so? Do you feel inferior to others?

Or do you feel at peace? Great! You can take your time to become aware of your emotions.

2. You're ready to make a change! You're ready to make new friends and feel the warmth of companionship again. You're ready to embrace your unique self and shine your light to the world. You're ready to embrace your body and love it just as it is. You're ready to embrace your journey and all the amazing things it has in store for you!

Or do you want more friends? Wouldn't it be great to have the support and attention of friends?

After feeling frustrated in relationships many times, you'll probably think of being alone in the future. So, do you like being alone?

What are you thinking when you are alone? Do you feel comfortable or uneasy?

3. In response to the above description, I would like to make the following suggestions:

(1) Embrace your own amazing personality! Communicate with others, express your needs and expectations, and don't just keep blaming others. When communicating with others, you should both understand and be tolerant of each other. This will also be great for your interpersonal relationships!

(2) You're about to embark on an incredible journey to college! It's the perfect time to make like-minded friends and explore new interests and hobbies. Imagine going to more sports venues and making friends who love to exercise. People who exercise regularly are full of energy, and you'll feel right at home when you spend time with them. Plus, participating in various sports activities is a great way to develop your character and relieve your emotions.

(3) You can do some meditation to heal anger and care for yourself. There are some on the platform, so you can do more of it. It's a great way to take care of yourself!

(4) The university is a small society with particularly abundant resources. You can also make good use of the university's resources by participating in more club activities. It's a great way to learn new skills and gain knowledge, and you'll meet lots of new friends! It's also a fantastic opportunity to learn how to get along with others.

(5) If you can, definitely go to the university's psychological counseling room for psychological counseling! For example, if you have any confusion or problems with interpersonal relationships, you can talk to the counselor. It might be useful to you!

I really hope my answer is helpful for you! I wish you all the best in the world!

I can totally understand how you're feeling. It's really tough when you feel like everyone around you is doing better and moving on without you. High school can be such a hard time, especially when you're going through it alone. I'm sorry you've been feeling this way, but isolating yourself might not be the best solution. Maybe there are others out there who feel just as you do.

Whitney Thomas Life is a treasure hunt, and the clues are within you.

It sounds like you've been through a lot. Sometimes life throws us curveballs that make us feel left out or not good enough. But remember, your worth isn't determined by where you go to school or how many friends you have online. There's so much value in who you are beyond those things. Consider reaching out for support; sometimes talking to someone who understands can help a lot.

Feeling lonely and isolated is incredibly challenging. It seems like high school was particularly difficult for you. The pressure to fit in and succeed can be overwhelming. It's okay to take time for yourself, but also try to find small ways to connect with others. You might find that people appreciate you more than you realize once they get to know you.

Jayson Davis Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but I want you to know that it's not uncommon to feel out of place during high school. Everyone has their own journey, and sometimes we grow at different paces. If socializing feels too daunting, maybe start with activities you enjoy. Often, shared interests can lead to friendships in a more natural and less stressful way.

I hear how deeply you feel this loneliness, and it's heartbreaking. It's important to acknowledge these feelings, but don't let them define you. Your path doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Even if right now you prefer being alone, consider exploring groups or communities where you might find kindred spirits. Sometimes, all it takes is one connection to change everything.
