sigh
there's nothing to find.
i've not had a close friend for about 3 years or so. may not sound like long, but i'm only 19. so its pretty long for me.
when i really wish i had a confidant to talk to, and i resort to looking on the internet, and all i find is people like myself, sharing my story, it isnt any help. if anything it makes me feel more hopeless. then i hear stories of people who have been like me for 10 years, or longer, and i cant bear to think what it must be like to live like that for so long. i don't think i could bear it. i don't have the courage or selfishness to end it all so all i see in line for me is a life without friends, and without fulfilment. misery, or numbness to deal with misery. and out of those, which is better?
occasionally, i have reached out to people, told them about my situation, and sure they can be sympathetic, but it only ever ends badly.
i used to get really depressed about it all the time, but gradually that went away, and i realised it has been replaced my a melancholy numbness. occasionally interrupted with the old and familiar depression. its been so long since i reached out to anyone about it, i feel as if i could almost do it again, but i must keep reminding myself how every time ive only gotten burnt, so i musnt try again.
i honestly dont know which i prefer, being depressed, or numb.
and all that... thats only half my problems.
i can only hope for improvement.
