i feel so lonely
 

lately i've been feeling really lonely.
i think its because my friends don't really include me in that much. like for example they always hesitate before telling me a secret or something. but the thing is, i tell them everything. literally.
today my best friend ignored me. i had called out her name really really loudly and she just ignored me. and when she was walking by, she ignored me. she has this new guy friend who she'd rather hand out with than me. and no its not because she likes him, he had asked her our and she was like ew no way am i going out with him. i don't get it :? she has a boyfriend too but she flirts with every guy out there :glare:
once i got so lonely i cut HELP onto my arm. now its there forever. a tattoo :nosweat:
i dont know what to do :o

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling. I want to assure you, just to start, that you are not alone. Everyone feels that way sometimes. I do, too. I have days when I feel completely alone and I'm out with my 3 best friends. People sometimes grow apart. Perhaps your friends just want some space. It's okay for them to have other friends, too.

I know it's hard, but maybe you could join a club and get to know new people. Or reach out to an acquaintance you don't know as well. It's okay to have one or two REALLY good friends. Those are the people you would call no matter what. But then you have a lot of people to just hang out with. Have a good time. Watch a movie. Etc.

As for the SH issue. Cutting is never a good solution. I've been there. I am fighting it right now. If this is a continual issue, I urge you to seek help. Tell a trusted adult or parent. Anyone you can count on. That's a scary step in and of itself, but I know you can do it.

It's hard to grow apart from someone and feel alone. I've been there. But you have people who care. People here at TH, family, friends. I know it. If you ever need to vent or talk, you can PM me.

I wish you the best. Remember that this does get better.

Sadly this is how everyday teenage society is like nowadays and to be perfectly honest it sucks. but even though you feel alone, remember you are NEVER alone. there are so many teenagers out there struggling with the exact same things as you are. but people do grow apart throughout time... but if this friend really did mean a lot to you i assure that you go talk to her. make her remember the times that you guys spent together and ask her if she really wants to just let all of that go because there is a guy. and tell her "guys come and go, but friends they stay forever" and if she picks him over you then karma will come back for her..
hope this helped a bit :')
