Befriending others is truly about letting them know they matter, as well as, believing that you also matter to them, in return. They'll reciprocate in mutual supportive behaviors and gestures.

When feeling yourself as deeply depressed as you've expressed, sometimes a tinge of projected emotions comes to the surface.

Grieving the suicide of someone in your community, is a unique stressor. I remember a young man, from my first high school had. Though, a couple years older, it was a collective sadness. My own attempt was a couple of months prior, truly shifted my own perspective, just prior to my transer,when i moved to my moms.

I cried and cried, when the same, happened to a young man, at the high school I was working at, a couple of years ago. Then, another young man, would sometimes come to my line, with a recovery smile about him. My scar is an old one, yet, was nice to see him healing up.

Knowing glances, work, too, if too shy for confronting this individual.
