coping with loneliness?

gabriel :)

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?

  • hello Gabriel, yeah, like others who have replied, i was like that for years too, and still can be, im currently 39.

    lived a very isolated, sheltered, lonely existence most my life, "hermit" would apply to how i sometimes wish i could live.

    but, current life circumstances have kind of forced me out of that a bit, its not ideal for me, but, im trying to build a new life for myself.

    just dont give up too early in life like i did, because i really do regret that now, and well, im not saying the "live life to the full" crap, cos that is a load of crap, but accept some things about yourself, but also challenge others. very vague i know.
