A never ending feeling of loneliness

A never ending feeling of loneliness

Guess this is my attempt to find somebody that actually understands or gets it im a 21 year old male and through out school and even after i was popular friends with everyone Had girlfriends and all that stuff yet i always just felt empty, alone and numb no matter what i do ive tried therapy hobbies lifestyle changes but nothing helps the feeling never goes away no matter what i do. I dont wanna give up but like what else is there left to do i dont think i can continue feeling this way for much longer its only getting harder and harder as all that people can say is it will get better but it never does.

Re: A never ending feeling of loneliness

@Therealme1 The idea of not wanting to give up but not knowing how it’s possible to keep going really resonates with me. I also wonder if I’ll ever feel connected to another person. My psychologist is working with me to teach me how and why my brain keeps me disconnected and how to work on feeling connected. It’s really hard though and I’m sorry you’re going through it. Hopefully it’s something to know other people are asking the same questions. If you haven’t before I’d recommend looking up attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganised) to see if anything there resonates with you and then maybe seeing if you can find a psychologist who has experience helping people who don’t have a secure attachment style? 🌻
