coping with loneliness?

my life is very lonely since i left school when i was 16 (im now 20). i dont talk to anyone other than my mum and some online friends who i cant connect with emotionally because ive never met them (they live in america). being unable to go out by myself and go to a job or college/university has made it hard for me. how do i learn to deal with the fact that this is how it is for me? are there other people in similar situations?

  • I was in a similar situation, today, where a former neighbour - visiting from the States - was talking to a man - who worked for my Grandfather whenever he was younger - and I didn't know the other man from Adam. (that man is now a Millionaire)

    I never truly connected with my community, for so long, and I hid - in my room - as a child and young man.
