Not Understood

Lovewell

No one understands me and I'm saddened by that. I feel like people don't even try to understand me, they just look and then decide I'm not worth their time. Sad thing is even my family do this to me, treat me horribly tell me I'm a drama queen and most of the time pretend I'm not there. I have no friends, no one ever wants to be my friend.

I try to tell myself it doesn't matter and I'm sure there's people out there who would like me and want to be my friend but I've never met anyone like that yet. I desperately want a job and to get my own place and away from all the negativity but my anxiety is so bad I can't do it. I do a lot of drawing, animation and I'm hoping that will go somewhere in the end but for now it's just my hobby and fun. 

I'm hoping here I can at least find someone who understands.

  • Hi Lovewell, hopefully at least typing that out helped you a little bit. It's a hard road and I guess some people just won't ever really understand. I'm sure there would be lots of people who would love to be your friend, but I do know that it doesn't always feel like that because it can be hard to find them and I have always had terrible trouble making friends too.

    I'm glad that you found this place, I only recently joined and have already found it very welcoming and reassuring. That's a good first step. Also, it's great that you have your drawing and animation, even if it is just a hobby, it's great that you have found something you love doing.

    I don't really have any good advice on getting a job when dealing with anxiety: the only thing I can think of, which sometimes works for me in situations where I don't think I can do something, is to think to myself 'OK, maybe I can't do that. But supposing for a moment I could, what would be the next thing I would do'. It can be surprising how much progress you can make towards something you think is impossible, by taking it one step at a time.
