I've been lonely for a long time and felt like giving up, like no one cares about me , that I will die alone and all those other thoughts that made me feel like I'm all alone. I was so lonely and depressed but then I just realised that oh well if no one cares about me I might as well just not focus on trying so hard to please and include more people in my life. As I stoped chasing the idea of ' oh everyone has friends in their life and I dont I'm so alone' I began focusing on myself and just doing things for me. Once I began focusing on me trying to improve my life I began meeting more people. I've made some more friends and have a boyfriend right now and I'm alot happier. I still have flaws and issues I need to work on but I'll get there. I've realised in order to be a friend , to love someone else you must first learn how to love yourself and to accept yourself for who you are with all the flaws and all.
