When you are going through issues of the day in your life and no one seem to understand but you what do you do I mean really everytime it seems as if you are the only one who knows what is going on in your life. When everytime you turn around and you are the only one going through the motions and everyone seemed as if they have moved on what do you do, life has its days I mean really. When you try to explain to your friends how things go in your life they try to say alot of the things you say are in your head, but its not this is things that are really happening to you, it makes you just want to give up sometime but everyone saying don't give up don't give up but what do you do when it seems that, life is telling you to do so?

its difficult to alwasy expect from other people. we would almost always end up being disappointed. you also have to understand that your friends have their lives.. their friends have their own things to do except be with you...

I know what you mean. Sometimes my friends are so happy and I'm on a downbuzz and I really want to tell them my problems but I'm afraid they won't understand or will judge me. I know it's stupid and that I should tell them, but they are sometimes on a whole other level. I'm just glad this doesn't happen often.

Hello there! When life seems tough and I have no one to turn to, I share it here in mylot! :) My friends live far away and honestly, I do not share with them personally. No one seems to understand anyway. Yes, they give you good words and advices for comfort. But no one seems to listen to you. Well, atleast that eases your pain in some way. I used to write my thoughts in a special notebook. It is like a diary but I call it my journal. I found out about blogging but I can't collect my thoughts and I got mix up. I was so happy when I found out about mylot. Mylot is my blog, journal and friend now. I had gained not just only good words but also I had gained good friends here.

Hi, there! Yeah.. There would really come a time when it seems like your friend doesn't understands you. Even how you would explain it to him/her. Whenever I feel this way, I just choose to be alone and think of a solution myself. I would consider my friend's thoughts but I will do what I think is right for me to do. I am the one who decides. :)

Yeah, I sometime feel like that but usually, I tend to bottle it up and not really talk to anyone about it because I know my friends would simply say get over it or they just don't understand what you are going through. You can never tell until you have walked into the other person's shoes. It makes me feel sad that I can't really share my issues knowing that I won't really get much comfort. If it's your problem, you deal with it and that's what I follow. I don't want to burden others.
