I'm Not a Doctor
Member
I pretty much have what you would call an average life. I go to a pretty good university, that I do pretty well in. I have a lot of friends, some of them close enough that I know most things about their lives (and vice versa). I socialize often, and attend social events regularly, although I'm a bit shy. I'm not in a relationship but don't feel like I want to pursue one currently.
But somehow, I feel lonely fairly often, usually more so after getting back from very social settings. I feel like there is something missing in my life and that hole is making me feel miserable and lonely. I think about my life and I know I should feel very grateful for what I have, that there are people out there who would love to have my life over theirs.. so I feel really bad for wanting this thing that I'm missing. I have no idea what it is.
I've been feeling this way for at least the last two years of my life. Has anyone else felt this way? Have you found the "thing" you were missing? Can anyone help me understand why I feel lonely, and if I am indeed missing something in my life?
Thanks for spending a minute of your life reading what I have to say. Feel free to ask any questions, but I don't feel comfortable giving out my exact location or identity .
