depressed.....

July 24, 2012 1:54pm CST
Have you ever had the feelings that in the real world and life all your friends have left you ..... and that you feel like your a lone island in a place and that no one regards you as a friend..... they get pissed off because your following them or when you call to them, they would tell you that my cellphone is charging, let's talk tomorrow, my cellphone might get damaged? Well how depressing to hear these instances from a close friend of yours right? Pls share your ideas

Hello Hadi, I never had been in such sort of situation ever.I now it hurts a lot when we ask for help from someone our close and we are denied for any reason.One must dump such friends who does not come out to help you when you require them.

Truely said, we should really pick our friends because there is a saying that "Tell me who you're friends are, and I'll tell you who you are right?

I've suffered with depression since I was around 15 years old and I'm now almost 27. I truly don't think anyone can understand it unless they suffer with it themselves and even then, people deal with things differently. As I've gotten older, sadly enough, I find that I like to be by myself a lot more often. Being alone I find that I don't have to worry about judgement from others and I've also found that true friends are hard to come by, just by observing other people in life, so many people are two faced, it's disturbing.

Truly said... well being alone can really help us..... True friends in this world are really rare, thus, finding them would be really difficult and can be very hard/.....

I got the same feeling too but what I did is to understand my friends situation. Just like when you are texting or making a call and she wants you to call back later. Maybe she is just busy in something. You cannot please anybody. You cannot have your friend with you 24 hours a day just to talk to you in the phone because you missed him a lot. I guess a constant communication is enough for the friends to stay with you even they are not with you.

True.... I think we must understand their case.... maybe I just lost my patience... Communication is really the key for a good relationship..... I think we also can't stay with them for 24 hours a day.... but having companions and friends to your side really can change a lot of loneliness you currently have

Well,no one is gonna hurt you,friend.You need to know that someone deserves you to worry while some are not.So be careful to choose friends,they are the one who can share no matter happiness or sadness with you.So good luck,find something to cheer yourself.

Yeah friends sometimes they do that, they are busy sometimes, but you just take a deep breath and let it go or come to mylot to talk, it always will make u feel better just do something else cus sometimes they are really busy at something and they will come back to talk to you when they are finished, so just give them some time. Cheer up.

I felt that way a couple of times, back when me and my close friends were both undergoing some major personal problems. We cannot blame each other when we cannot be there for one another because we're just simply so occupied with our own troubles that we can't be even bothered with others people's troubles. I also felt alone, I cannot just pick up my phone and dial their numbers for some talk, I did try but they're also needing help and it just makes us even more depressed if we start talking our own issues. Good thing those days are over.

There are times I felt like that... Whenever I do, I try to remember something my father once told me... "Never live your life based on other people's standards...". I live with my girlfriend & I have a daughter... Weird thing is, I like being alone... I try to go on vacation by myself at least once a year... My girlfriend & daughter understand that about me & they are the ones usually kick me out of the house to spend some alone time, lol... I don't know, I guess I've always been like this... I'm not much of a people person... I guess that's part of a reason why I'm on here, too... Just so I don't have to deal with people on a personal level & I can turn my computer off whenever I feel like I had enough... Don't get me wrong, I do have close friends... There's this one guy I consider my brother... We've been friends for 24 years now... I hang out with him once a week... There have been times when he was busy so he couldn't hang out... That never really bothered me... The way I see it, as close of a friend he is to me, my life doesn't have to evolve around him... He's got his life to live & I got mine... When I call him & if he tells me he's busy, we say, ok... May be next time... And go do our separate things... Friendship is a great thing... But don't involve yourself so deep into it that your happiness depends on it....
